Keeping a found pet close to the community
The Haven’s Finder to Foster programme is designed for animals found within the City of Fairhope, Alabama. It mainly concerns medium and large dogs and kittens, with participation depending on resources and assessment. The finder provides a temporary home during a seven-day hold while the organisation works towards reunion or an appropriate next step.
Support for the temporary caregiver
For eligible animals, The Haven provides age-appropriate vaccines, parasite care and supplies such as food, a crate, lead, collar and toys. It also posts lost-and-found information and supplies a flyer template. Caregivers can share photographs and videos, helping the organisation publicise the animal and learn about its behaviour in a home setting.
A foster role with clear requirements
Applicants must be adults living within thirty miles of the main facility, with reliable transport and secure, climate-controlled indoor space. The published requirements include training before the first placement, regular updates and records of behaviour, eating and medical concerns. The arrangement asks for flexibility because care may continue beyond the initial hold period.
What happens after the hold
If an owner is found, The Haven arranges the animal’s return for reunion. Otherwise, the caregiver can discuss returning the animal, continuing through the foster programme or adopting after veterinary preparation, including sterilisation. These are coordinated options rather than an automatic transfer of ownership to the finder at the end of seven days.
A different home for working cats
The Working Cats Program places cats whose disposition does not suit standard indoor adoption in appropriate settings such as barns or sheds. Animals are sterilised and vaccinated, and approved adopters must follow a fourteen-day managed introduction and provide continuing care. The official pages explain these distinct routes, helping prospective caregivers choose between found-pet fostering and a permanent working-cat commitment.
