Learn about our foster program. Foster families are the bridge between an animal shelter and a pet's new home! Fosters allow us to care for even more animals in need, and offer so much love along the way. Foster Program Fostering allows us to help even more pets in need than we're able to accommodate at the shelter. Fostering is a temporary and extremely rewarding experience. You can help little babies grow, help sick and injured pets grow stronger, and share plenty of love along the way to help our pets prepare for their adoptive forever homes. Fostering is an amazing way to open your heart and home to a pet in need, without the lifelong commitment that follows adoption. If you're interested in fostering with HSoP, we would love to hear from you! Please take some time to complete our foster application down below, and we will contact you when the need for a foster arises. Prefer paper and pen?

Volunteering for special events is one of the best ways you can support your local humane society! We host several fundrasing events per year, and our volunteers make it all possible. Event Volunteering HSoP holds several annual fundraising events, many of which require volunteers to ensure the event is running smoothly. Event Volunteering is a great opportunity for clubs, community, business and philanthropic groups to support an organization with a great cause. Soup and Pie Held every February, Soup and Pie is a social luncheon where HSoP supporters can enjoy a bowl of soup and a slice of pie. Volunteers at our soup and pie event are responsible for selling tickets at the door, admitting those with tickets purchased online, serving soup to attendees, and slicing up delicious pie for all of those who came to support our animals. Volunteers are also extremely helpful for the setup and teardown of event materials (tables, chairs, decorations, food, etc.). Paw-Louse 5K Fun Run & Walk Paw-Louse Fun run is a fun outing for all family members (including the furry ones) that starts and ends at the corner of Rail Road and Sweet Ave. Volunteers make this event possible by handing out water and snacks, distributing T-shirts, setting up the 5k route, and helping to keep our participants (people and dogs alike!) on track.
