Become a foster parent to a cat or dog in need through the Timmins & District Humane Society. Provide a temporary, loving home and help animals prepare for adoption. Foster Program Exciting news from the Timmins & District Humane Society We’ve officially launched our foster care program! Instead of waiting for their second chance behind shelter walls, our beloved animals now have the opportunity to experience the warmth, comfort, and love of a real home while they await adoption. That’s where you come in. We’re looking for kind, compassionate members of our community to open their hearts and homes to pets in need—even if it’s just for a little while. Fostering is incredibly rewarding and can be tailored to suit your lifestyle. Whether you’re home full-time or just have a little extra love to give, there’s a foster opportunity that’s right for you. Here's how you can help 1 Short-Term Fostering Perfect for people who can commit for a week or two. These pets may just need a break from the shelter, recovery time after surgery, or a soft place to land before their adoption. 2 Long-Term Fostering Some animals need a little more time to find their forever homes. This could be senior pets, special medical cases, or those who simply don’t thrive in the shelter environment. If you're in it for the long haul, these animals will love you for it. 3 Kitten & Puppy Fostering Help us raise the tiniest, most vulnerable lives! From bottle babies needing round-the-clock care, to litters of weaned kittens and pups learning the ropes, your home could be their first safe haven. 4 Emergency or Weekend Fostering Great for those with limited availability. Sometimes we just need a place for an animal to stay for a few nights or over a weekend. Every night in a home makes a difference. We’ll provide all the supplies you need—food, litter, medical care—you provide the love and care. There’s a short application process to help us get to know you better and match you with the right animal for your home and experience level. 5 Hospice Care For those with the biggest hearts, hospice care offers love and comfort to terminally ill or elderly animals in their final chapter. It’s the most bittersweet kind of fostering, but also the most powerful gift you can give. Ready to be a hero in disguise? Click the link below to get started and join the TDHS foster family. You'll be giving a shelter pet the gift of healing, hope, and a second chance—right from the comfort of your home. If you're in the Timmins area and have a little extra room in your home and heart, fostering with the Timmins & District Humane Society can truly meaningful way to help your community and its animals. 💙 Fill out an Application

Support "Tuco's Trust" at the Timmins & District Humane Society, a vital fundraising effort to provide life-saving medical care for animals in need. Help us reach our $50,000 goal to ensure every animal gets a second chance. Donate today! Donate Now! Tuco's Trust Everyday an animal will find itself in need of life saving medical care! More often than not, those animals come to the Timmins and District Humane Society, because we are their last resort – their last chance! Tuco was one such case! A sweet, loving and happy fellow who came to us with significant malformed back legs that impact his hips and mobility. Specialists stated that ideally Tuco would undergo multiple surgeries to correct his mobility issues so he could live his life to the fullest. Unfortunately, the surgeries would cost up to $20,000 – a cost we simply could not afford as a small charity. Tuco is still with us and living on the alternative treatment plan, which is long term pain management and supportive health program, and physical assessments every six (6) months to ensure the treatment plan remains in effect. Tuco’s story is one of many, and the inspiration for the incredible fundraising journey the Timmins & District Humane Society (TDHS) is embarking on called Tuco’s Trust. Every day TDHS sees animals come through our door in need of a second chance! Some simply need a warm bed and their belly’s filled before being reunited with their family. Unfortunately, countless are in need of a new home – a forever family to call their own. Due to the increased demand for medical care, as we will never turn an animal away, our already strapped resources are being stretched to the breaking point. Animals that we would normally be able to help are now at risk of not getting their second chance, because we simply don’t have the funds to help them! In light of the ever-increasing medical cases, TDHS is launching the Tuco’s Trust with a goal of raising $50,000. A goal we hope will take away the always present question and worry about whether we have the funds to help an animal in need when they need us the most! A goal we hope will eliminate animals having to needlessly wait while we look for funds to help heal them! Animals like Tater, who came to us after being attacked by another dog, which resulted in serious puncture wounds and damage to his eye that his family could not afford to treat. Or Sahar, a young, abandoned cat who gave birth to kittens in the cold winter only to lose them because the traumatic birth resulted in her suffering from a severe prolapsed uterus. Both Tater and Sahara came to us needing emergency care! Emergency care we provided and that saved their lives. However, being able to provide this care to all animals coming to us for their second chance – animals like Tuco – requires us to have available funds. Emergency medical care costs can range from several hundred dollars, but more often than not, several thousand dollars. Support of Tuco’s Trust ensures the question whether our ability to save an animal’s life is met with a “Yes”, and not with the question “Do we have the money?”. Those interested in supporting Tuco’s Trust can do so by donating today! Donate Now! Help Us Reach Our Goal - Share Tuco's Trust with the World! Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Copy link
