Fetch Animal Rescue is a volunteer run and foster home-based rescue. All of our animals are in volunteer foster homes. We are in need of volunteer foster caregivers.

Fosters caregivers are a core part of our rescue. They provide temporary housing for FETCH dogs and cats until they are placed in their forever home. This can be as short as a few days, several weeks, or even several months. Our full time fosters typically commit to their foster dog or cat until they find their forever home. The more people we have to foster puppies, kittens, adult dogs and cats, or those with medical needs, the more lives we can impact and save!

Note: Fosters must live in Kern County, California or in a county bordering Kern County.
