**We would love to have you at Cincinnati Animal CARE, but before you begin all students interested in Fostering MUST apply online at cincinnatianimalcare.org/foster and complete the required foster onboarding. From there a member of our foster team will reach out to you to schedule your foster pickup. Any person recording hours for Fostering MUST have an application or profile in our system, My Impact. If you do not have an application or profile in our system your hours will be denied. Please DO NOT come to the shelter to pick up a foster until your application has been completed and our foster team has verified your pick up.**

Fostering (Short-Term & Long Term)
Fostering is super flexible and free! A foster session can range from an overnight sleep over to holding onto the animal until adoption. When you are fostering with us we provide everything!  Dog crate, food, treats, medical care, etc.  This is completely free for you and a great help for us at the shelter by clearing kennel space so we can take more dogs in.  You'll always have access to the foster coordinator for any concerns or questions you have along the way.  We do ask for 48 hours notice should you need to return the dog earlier than planned. 

Recording Foster Hours: An active foster will acquire 3 hours per day of volunteer hours. The number of foster pets in one’s care does not alter the number of hours acquired per day. Foster-to-Volunteer hours may only be logged upon the completion of a foster(s) and should be recorded as one lump sum on your My Impact Page (ex. 5 days of fostering = 15 Volunteer hours).

**We would love to have you at Cincinnati Animal CARE, however, this opportunity is only suitable for those who plan to volunteer on a regular basis. Before you begin all volunteers MUST apply online at cincinnatianimalcare.org/volunteer and complete the required volunteer onboarding and training process. DO NOT come to the shelter until training has been completed and you have signed up for a volunteer shift on CAC's platform My Impact Page. Signing up on UC's platform does not translate to CAC's schedule and you run the risk of being turned away. Volunteer hours will NOT be approved until you have completed all volunteer training and your hours have been recorded on your My Impact Page and verified. If volunteer hours can't be verified in our system they will be denied.**

Join us at our offsite Special Events! Special Events are those that are focused on connecting with the community through education, fundraising, and more. This is a great opportunity for volunteers who have a passion for Cincinnati Animal CARE's mission and are comfortable talking with a wide diversity of people about the importance of supporting your local shelter. 

This volunteer opportunity occurs offsite.

This volunteer opportunity occurs offsite.

Long Term Role

Peer Partners

Peer Partners are the trusted volunteers that participate in our adult social clubs. Social clubs serve as an opportunity for our adults with Down syndrome to take a leadership role in planning and implementing their own social activities. These clubs were created to empower adults and increase independence.

There are numerous social clubs throughout our twelve-county radius. Each club consists of four to eight adults with Down syndrome and two peer partners. Social clubs meet regularly once a month, and the goal is to create a consistent schedule (ex: 1st Friday of the month at 7 pm). Typically, each member of the social club plans one monthly outing per year to give each member and peer partner an opportunity to ‘host’. Activities can include sporting events, bowling, dinners, art classes, grill outs, etc. Activities take place in one location to avoid "in between" transportation. Social club members pay for their own participation in an activity, while Peer Partners are reimbursed for their activity (up to $25).

Peer Partners will work alongside adults with Down syndrome as they plan activities, develop social skills, manage money, explore new places, and practice healthy choices.

Peer Partners must be at least age 20 and pass a background check.
