Welcome to The Animal Protection League Home Connection Program. As a foster care provider, you can help make second chances possible and better prepare a homeless pet for a successful adoption. Please include your veterinarian's information as well as two references that are non-family members and do not live with you. Each application will be carefully screened. Once you have completed the application, click the "submit" button. We are excited to hear from you and thank you for taking the time to help an animal in need.

While in The Home Connection Program, the animal will be marketed to potential adopters and your assistance is needed in making second chances possible. Providing that the animal is healthy and in an adoptable state, each foster care provider is required to transport the animal to adoption events or Pet Connection Satellite Adoption Centers including but not limited to Mounds Mall of Anderson, PetSmart and Speck’s Pet Supplies. Please take driving distance into consideration when choosing to foster. Some events may occur in Noblesville, Indianapolis and other areas outside of Madison County.

Are you willing to transport a healthy, young or baby animal to at least two adoption events per month?

The Animal Protection League presently does not have a foster-to-adopt program. Although, some foster families may fall in love with their animal and choose to proceed with an adoption. The animal is considered the property of the Animal Protection League until an adoption agreement is signed and associated fees are paid. Until that time, The Animal Protection League will work to find an adopter and reserves the right to remove the animal from your home at any time
I understand that The Animal Protection League reserves the right to remove the animal from my home at any time.
