 What does a Foster do?

A foster parent provides temporary care for cats and/or dogs. Some animals need as little as two weeks of care, while others may need care for many months. 

Why Foster? 

It saves lives!  Every animal in foster gets the chance for a new fur-ever home♥

Want to learn more? 

Our Adoption Administrator will be happy to answer any questions!  Email Rhonda for more info.


Thank You!

MAKE A DIFFERENCE

It takes a village. Without the support of the community, it wouldn’t be possible to support the animals the way we do. If you’re struggling what to get the animal lover on your list, consider donating a monetary gift in their name or becoming a sponsor. You might even be able to double the donation with a matching gift from an employer!

OCTOBER 2020

As the pandemic continues, Friends of Noah continues to impact the community. We are actively working with food pantries to help those who can’t afford to feed their pets. We continue to take in foster animals and find them new homes. We are helping families with emergency vet expenses.  Our mission has never been more important!  

We are seeking sponsors to assist in covering these expenses. If you know of any individual or business that is able and willing to contribute, it would certainly help the people and pets that need us the most. Many companies even ‘match’ employee donations, making your gift count twice as much! If you have any questions about how you or your company can support our missions, please email Lois@friendsofnoah-wi.org.

Thank you, 

Lois Corwin
Founder of Friends of Noah, WI
 

Here are some before and after photos of Desi who needed emergency care. We were able to assist Desi through Noah’s Animal Fund.

2021 Arftic Art: It is with sadness that we announce the postponement of Arftic Art 2021 due to COVID-19. Unfortunately, due to the rising number of cases in Wisconsin, the restricted number of people allowed into the Pontiac Convention Center, and the logistics with these limitations, we have decided to postpone Arftic Art until 2022. Mark your calendars for 2/19/22!

As you can see, our normally busy fundraising season has been put on hold. If you have any ideas on how Friends of Noah can hold a safe, socially distanced fundraiser, please share! Feel free to email any ideas to Dawn Espinosa.
