Become a PerPETual Care Foster Family

What is the PerPETual Care Program? 

In the event of a pet owner’s death, the PerPETual Care program will place animals enrolled in the program into a caring foster home. This program was developed by the University of Minnesota College of Veterinary Medicine at the request of clients concerned about the future of their pets should the client predecease their pet. By enrolling their companion animals in the program, pet owners gain peace of mind knowing that their pet’s medical care, food and future home are provided through the program.

Why become a foster family?

Foster families have a unique opportunity to add a pet to their family free of charge.  All medical care and food costs are covered by the College of Veterinary Medicine. You will be fostering a pet from a loving home while providing the peace of mind to a pet owner who can rest assured that after the owner’s death their companion animal will receive the care that it needs.
