Would you like to help a pet, but are unsure you can keep them for the rest of their life? Consider fostering one of our residents!
How does it work?
The fostering process starts with filling the online form below.
Once your application is reviewed and approved, we will meet you via video call in order to stay safe and respect Covid-19 and H1N1 measures. During our meeting, we will explain the requirements and conditions to meet in order to foster a dog or a cat. Based on the video call, if you still want to go through with the fostering process, we will ask you if you have a pet in mind or you would like to meet all our residents and choose depending on your preference. We will then schedule a visit to the sanctuary so you can meet your temporary fur baby. Once you choose a pet, you will have to pass by the shelter again, at least twice, to make sure you want to foster this specific pet and to see if you two have a real connection. After you set your heart on you’re an animal, we will schedule a home visit via video call, where we might ask you to fix, remove or change things that might be hazardous for the pet. Based on your willingness to comply with these modifications, we will schedule a second home visit to make sure everything is ready to welcome your foster baby. After successfully completing all of the steps aforementioned, you will be asked to pass by APC to pick up the pet.
Note that the requirements are different between cats and dogs. To foster a dog, you will be asked to pass by the shelter up to 4 or 5 times to make sure you two developed a bond. You will also be asked to walk them and take them home for a night to experience a day in the life of a dog parent.
All the expenses and fees will be covered by APC. You will only need to take care of the pet until we find them a forever home.
Zara is a stunning Siberian cat who clearly wasn’t born on the streets. She must have had a home once. Sadly, during the war, many pets were abandoned, and Zara was probably left to survive on her own. We started feeding her, and that’s when we noticed something else was wrong. Zara was drooling and
APC is more than just a shelter saving animals from the cruel and hostile conditions they live in on the streets of Lebanon. We offer them individual care, we try to keep them as happy as possible and focus on their wellbeing, as if they lived in a home.
