CHS has long been committed to helping pet owners in crisis through its Safe and Sheltered Pets Program, which provides temporary foster care for pets whose owners are facing life-altering emergencies like domestic violence, hospitalization, or homelessness. This program has been a lifeline for countless families, ensuring pets remain safe until they can be reunited with their owners.

Now, to expand access to crisis fostering for families in need, CHS is proud to partner with BestyBnB, an organization offering a first-of-its-kind technology platform designed to help individuals find safe, temporary foster homes for their pets while families work through crises.

BestyBnb is an organization with a proven track record of supporting people and pets through hard times. Their platform connects people in need with trusted foster homes for their pets, providing peace of mind as they seek help and begin the process of rebuilding their lives.

BestyBnb has been instrumental in providing much-needed resources to those who need them the most, ensuring that pets can stay with their families even during difficult times. Their platform makes it easier for pet owners to access foster care, minimizing the burden on individuals already facing overwhelming circumstances.

In the last few months BestyBnB has enabled its Agency Partners to provide 1,000+ Safe Nights for their Clients’ Pets. The BestyBnB Platform:

• Prevents owner-surrender of Pets;
• Prevents violent and abusive crimes against Pets and their Owners by removing barriers to safety; and
• Helps MILLIONS of Pets, Children, Abuse Survivors, Mental Health Patients, and Families experiencing Houselessness.

CHS is committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of pets and their families during times of crisis, and needs your help to do it! There are several ways you can get involved with this new crisis fostering initiative.
