Dog Foster Application and Volunteer Agreement
People’s Anti Cruelty Association /Albuquerque Animal Rescue (PACA/AAR), a No-Kill rescue group, was founded in 1973. Our main mission is to rescue, rehabilitate and rehouse homeless dogs and cats. PACA has no shelter facility and relies on an organized network of foster parents who graciously take animals into their homes and hearts until permanent homes are found. PACA is a 501c3 non-profit organization. For more information, visit: http://nmpaca.org
Thank you for wanting to foster a dog. The number of dogs we can help is directly related to the number of foster homes we have. We greatly appreciate all of our volunteers.
