Woof! Meow! One thing before you go…

Do you need to find a loving home for your pet?

Shelters are often inundated with pet surrenders, and do not want to provide a simple outlet that takes away the obligation of responsible pet ownership. Therefore, they would prefer that people try hard to find a solution before resorting to surrendering their pet to a shelter. If you must find a new home for a pet, please try posting to our adoption portal before placing the burden on the shelter. Direct adoptions work well and allow everyone to share in the accountability of their community!

Foster Pet Outreach began in 1990 when three coworkers banded together to help a stray cat. Recognizing the need to better the lives of abandoned and abused animals in their community, they volunteered as a small group at the Peoria Animal Welfare Society (PAWS). Charter members helped clean cages, groom animals, walk dogs, and fostered selected animals in their homes. In 1991 a growing membership incorporated as an independent organization known as A Cause for Paws (ACFP). While ACFP was beginning to be recognized in the community, there was also confusion with PAWS because of the name similarity. Although the name was changed to Foster Pet Outreach in 1995, the commitment to placing animals in permanent homes remains the same. Over fifty animals are placed into loving homes each year by our organization. 2007 marks our seventeenth year dedicated to helping animals in need. Founded with a vision of an organization that would make a difference in the lives of unwanted animals in the Peoria area, today our membership is over 100 strong.

    Animals are fostered in members' homes until the they are permanently adopted into responsible homes. This process allows the foster parent to become familiar with the animal's personality and capabilities. This also provides socialization and basic training which helps to make the animal more adoptable.

  • Your goal is to place a dog in a loving and forever home. It is your duty to do that. So when my brother went to the pound to rescue the white shepherd mix, Diamond, you people under the guise of rescue had already attached your name to her and he couldn't get her out of that Belleville. In fact you let her stay there frightened and wondering what she did wrong for more nights than she deserved and now you have said they can't have her because they live to far from Peoria. You are idiots!! I know You just lost Diamond the most loving home with a man that would do whatever it takes to keep her happy and healthy with the means and heart to do so. So shame on you. Your objectives are screwed up. You people just want to pat yourselves on the back. You didn't even care that Diamond had to stay at pound till you could "rescue" her. Hell, she had a safe place that very evening he went to get her.
