Humane League of Lancaster County, The Best Place to Find a Best Friend



Foster Care:

We need your help! We want to save even more lives this year, and in order to do that we need volunteers who can take pets temporarily into their homes or businesses. Foster parents can specify the length of time they are available, and if they would like to care for cats, dogs, and other animals like birds, goats, pigs, or even horses! We provide all of the food, supplies, veterinary care, and you provide the love.

Foster Parents offer short-term and long-term care to animals who are unable to be immediately placed for adoption. By providing care to injured, sick, or neonatal animals, Foster Parents make it possible for these animals to be adopted. This program is headed by Lori Kelley. For more information email: lkelley@humaneleague.com.

Humane League of Lancaster County Foster Care Coordinator Lori Kelley was named the Pennsylvania Federated Humane Society's Employee of the year at the organization's annual meeting September 21st.

Kelley has been the foster care coordinator for five years. She has taken a small program that handled foster care for a handful of sick and behaviorally challenged animals and turned it into a well-run program that helps more than 500 animals a year get the extra care they need until they are able to go up for adoption.


Congratulations, Lori!
