HOPE in need of foster homes for cats and dogs
Upland-based animal rescue charity Helping Out Pets Everyday is in need of foster homes for their rescued dogs and cats.
The all volunteer organization places homeless dogs and cats in temporary foster homes until their forever home is found.
HOPE pays for all medical expenses, but foster owners will need to provide the indoor home, food and litter.
They are also asked to take the foster pet to HOPE's Saturday adoption days at PetSmart, 1935 N. Campus Ave. in Upland.
Fostering dogs and cats gets them out of crowded shelters where they are at risk of being euthanized, according to HOPE.
People who cannot foster but would still like to help out can make monthly contributions to help pay for boarding costs.
The charity will be a beneficiary of PetSmart's photos with Santa from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Dec. 10-11 and Dec. 17-18.
Pet owners will receive a photo of their pet with Santa in a holiday frame for $9.95.
Half of the proceeds go to HOPE.
