Fostering a Dog or Cat
Can I foster-to-adopt a dog or cat?
Milo does not foster-to-adopt. Instead we have built into our Adoption Contract a 10 window by which, if you and the animal are not able to make it work, you may return them to us. *NOTE: There are NO refunds for puppies or kittens (less than 1 year old). If the animal returned is an adult, you may receive a refund (less a $50 re-intake fee) or a credit (less a $50 re-intake fee) toward the adoption of an animal that may be more suitable for your situation.
Who covers the cost of animal care when I foster a dog or cat?
Milo covers the cost of veterinary care while you are fostering a dog or cat. Most of our fosters cover the cost of pet food but Milo can provide food if needed.
