Do you love animals? Have a spare room in your home and time to spend with a furry friend? As a pet foster parent you will care for a homeless pet as if he was your own until he is adopted. You will give the pet individualized care and teach socialization skills to ensure they are a well-adjusted pet. You will learn about the pet’s personality, likes, and dislikes so that he can be better matched to the right forever home. You will then get to experience the joy of helping a homeless animal find a loving family to spend the rest of his life with.
Pet foster parents provide shelter, food, transportation to and from vet appointments if needed, training, and plenty of love! Veterinary care is paid for by HHAS. You and your foster pet are encouraged to join us at adoption events each weekend to promote the adoption of your foster pet. Adoption events are held at Petsmart, 9869 S Eastern Av, in the Target shopping center, and Petco, 2340 E Serene, near Eastern & I-215.
Every cat or dog you foster allows us to rescue another, ending needless suffering of homeless animals and reducing euthanasia. To apply to be a pet foster parent, please complete the application at www.happyhomeanimalsanctuary.org/foster-home-volunteer-application/. After we receive it, someone will contact you.

Our goal is to protect the welfare of the animals and to promote the humane treatment and well-being of these animals by: Providing shelter and care for stray or abandoned animals in foster homes until they are adopted, and actively promoting suitable adoptions of the animals. If adoption isn’t possible, the sanctuary provides a lifetime refuge for these animals. Responding with personal commitment, humane sensitivity, compassion, and technical skill to the needs of these animals. Spaying and neutering dogs and cats to ensure the numbers of unwanted animals is kept to a minimum. Managing feral cat colonies with trapping, neutering, and returning of feral cats. Helping to prevent cruelty to animals by promoting animal welfare legislation and public education.
Description
Happy Home Animal Sanctuary stands apart from other animal rescue organizations. We rescue as many cats and dogs as possible with no time limit for adoption. The animals stay in foster homes, in the adoption center at Petsmart, or at the sanctuary as long as it takes to find them a home, or for the rest of their lives. The sanctuary is in a remote, peaceful desert location. Our wonderful foster homes are all over Southern Nevada. We hold adoption hours each weekend at the Petsmart located on Eastern Av at Silverado Ranch Rd.
We are an all-volunteer organization and rely solely on adoption fees, donations and the generosity of cat and dog lovers to continue our efforts. Volunteers and/or donations are always appreciated. We have been happily serving the Southern Nevada area since 1997.
Adoption hours are 11 AM to 4 PM every Saturday and Sunday at Petsmart, 9869 S Eastern Av, Las Vegas, Nevada. Adoptable dogs and cats can also be seen on Petfinder.com and on our web site.
