Vacation foster care program
In San Miguel for a while? Foster a dog or cat while you are here.
Staying in San Miguel for weeks or months? Share your dates, housing and experience, then apply directly to an organization’s foster-available pets. The organization arranges your interview and decides whether a placement is suitable.
A safe temporary home can offer companionship, socialization and time away from a shelter.

How it works
- 1Create an account and fill in your foster profile with the dates you'll be in town.
- 2An organization reviews and approves you, usually with a call or a visit.
- 3From the date you choose, you'll get foster offers for pets that fit your home.
- 4Accept an offer, meet the pet, and sign the organization's own foster agreement. Offers pause while you have a foster pet.
Foster pets stay in San Miguel de Allende for the entire placement and are never transported or taken outside San Miguel de Allende. Each organization provides its own foster agreement and terms directly to you. Perroquia is not a party to any foster arrangement.
