As more and more pet owners in the community continue to face struggles due to housing instability, economic turmoil, job insecurity and more, the Arizona Humane Society has seen a great need for its owned pet foster programs including Project Home Away from Home. Adorable Payson and his family are just one example of those who have looked to this lifesaving program after his family unfortunately fell on hard times and in need of temporary placement for the sweet pup.

At five-years-young, the handsome Labrador Retriever is hoping for a loving Foster Hero that can help him while his family works to get on their feet. With no history of illness or injuries, this gorgeous doggo needs someone that can help him feel at home and perhaps lose a couple pounds to get to a healthier weight.

Project Home Away From Home is an essential part of supporting our community’s pet parents. This temporary foster program provides a safe haven for pet owners in a critical time of need and facing housing instability, domestic violence, other crises or even deployed with the military. By becoming a Foster Hero for pets in this program, you are not only opening your heart and home to these pets, but you are also standing alongside fellow pet owners in our community who need our support now more than ever.

One of the biggest fears people tend to have with fostering pets is they fear they will fall in love and want to adopt them all. A great part of this program is knowing you are not only helping pets in need but also play an important part of helping them reunite with their loving family!
