Paws Humane Society - Silent Night

GIVE THE GIFT OF A HOME This Holiday Season

The holidays are a time of warmth, joy, and togetherness—a time when every home should be filled with love and every pet should know what it feels like to be part of a family. At Paws Humane Society, we’re launching our Silent Night Foster Program, an initiative aimed at clearing our shelter for the holidays and giving every animal the gift of a home, even if just for a short time. From December 20, 2024, to January 6, 2025, you can make a difference by fostering a pet in need.

What is the Silent Night Foster Program?

The Silent Night program invites community members to open their hearts and homes to shelter pets during the holiday season. By fostering an animal for just a few days, you can give them a break from the shelter environment, a chance to experience love and comfort, and maybe even a shot at finding their forever home.

Why Silent Night Matters

A Break from the Shelter

For many animals, the shelter can be stressful, especially during the hustle and bustle of the holidays. A foster home provides them with a peaceful, loving environment to relax and thrive.

Promoting Adoption

Fosters get to know their temporary houseguests and can share their personalities, quirks, and lovable

traits with potential adopters. Plus, when pets are in foster care, they are more likely to catch the attention of those searching for a new family member.

Making Room to Save More Lives

Every fostered pet creates space in the shelter, allowing us to rescue and care for more animals in need.

How It Works

Pick Up Your Furry Friend

Starting December 20, 2024, come to Paws Humane Society to pick up your Silent Night foster pet. Enjoy the Holidays Together

Bring your foster pet home to spend the holidays with you. Share their story, snap festive photos, and let them experience the magic of the season.

Return or Adopt

After the holiday period ends on January 6, 2025, you can return your foster pet to the shelter—or if they’ve stolen your heart, make them a permanent member of your family.

Who Can Participate?

Anyone with a little extra space in their home and a lot of love in their heart! Whether you’re an experienced

foster or new to the program, we’ll provide you with all the resources and support you need.

The Gift of a Home

This holiday season, let’s create a “silent night” for every shelter pet—a night free of barking and kennels, filled with comfort and companionship. Whether you can foster for a weekend, a week, or the entire holiday season, your kindness can make all the difference.
