HOPE looking for foster homes for pets

Upland-based animal rescue charity, Helping Out Pets Everyday, is seeking volunteers to help foster dogs and cats rescued by the organization. 

HOPE rescues at-risk dogs and cats from shelters in San Bernardino and Kern Counties. 

They will occasionally rescue pets from owners who can no longer care for them. 

HOPE does not have a facility, so they rely on volunteers to temporarily care for the rescues while they seek qualified homes, said HOPE President Margaret Coffman. 

"Boarding our rescues is very expensive for us, so we're reaching out to animal lovers that may be willing to take in a dog or cat in need," Coffman said. "There's so many out there that we can help, but without assistance, these dogs and cats are doomed to die."

To foster or get more information email Coffman at MacC219@aol.com or call HOPE at 800-811-4285 and leave a message.
