If you love animals, you might want to consider becoming a foster parent for the Suncoast Animal League. 

Fostering is a rewarding and much-needed volunteer task that saves hundreds of animals at Suncoast Animal League each year.

Puppies, kittens, dogs and cats are in need of foster homes for a wide variety of reasons:

• The shelter is overcrowded.
• They're too young to be adopted.
• They still need to be spayed or neutered.
• They have special medical needs.

Interested in learning more? A special class for Suncoast Animal League foster parents will be held at 6:30 p.m. on Monday, Jan. 21, at The Centre. The class will be led by Executive Director Rick Chaboudy and should run approximately 1½ hours. Current foster parents are also encouraged to attend as information is updated regularly. 

Enroll by Friday, Jan. 18, at info@suncoastanimalleague.org. Space is limited, so register early.   

The Centre is at 1500 16th St., Palm Harbor.

The Suncoast Animal League is at 1030 Pennsylvania Ave. 727-786-1330
