Fosters supply the love, care, exercise and sometimes transportation. We supply pretty much everything else needed: food, treats, toys, leash, collar, harness, crate, bedding, medical care & heartworm/flea/tick preventatives. You can choose long term fostering (until the dog is adopted into a forever family) or short term, usually 1-5 days. Long term fosters are needed when a dog has completed the program, but hasn’t been adopted yet. Long term fosters will be provided the opportunity to work with a trainer to continue the dog’s education.
Short term fosters are needed when a dog is scheduled to come into the program, but needs vet care first or just a place to crash until clearances can be arranged.
The Central Pennsylvania Animal Alliance (CPAA) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization whose mission is to save the lives of dogs in central Pennsylvania through rescuing, fostering, adoptions, training through its Hounds of Prison Education (HOPE) training and rehabilitation program at the State Correctional Institution at Camp Hill (SCI-Camp Hill), and public outreach and education on responsible pet ownership.
