The "Promote a Pet" program at the Humane Society of the Treasure Coast is specially designed for shelter pets who are experiencing fear, anxiety, or stress in the shelter environment. These animals may struggle to thrive in a busy, noisy setting, making it harder for them to connect with potential adopters. Through this program, they are placed in foster homes where they can relax, decompress, and show their true personalities—giving them a much better chance at finding a loving forever home. While in foster care, these pets remain available for adoption, and the foster family helps promote them through social media, word of mouth, or by providing photos and updates for HSTC to share. It’s a compassionate, community-driven approach that prioritizes animal well-being and helps these special pets find the peace—and families—they deserve.
Blossom is 10 months old. He is on a special diet for a manageable urinary issue, but that
doesn’t stop him from being energetic and active. He loves playing and climbing, and also loves to cuddle in his selected spot on the bed. He is super sweet and needs a person who will
give him all the love he deserves.
Oscar is a 3-year-old male who came to us as a stray. He is fearful
meeting new people at first, but has really warmed up and thrived in foster care, where he has also lived with other dogs. He loves exploring in the yard.
Maverick is a 2‑year‑old,
46 lb sweetheart that has been having a tough time adjusting to shelter life. In the kennel, he’s anxious and unsure but once he steps outside, he transforms into the sweetest, most
loving pup. Maverick is a family dog - his former owners loved him but had to rehome him because their child developed severe allergies. It is unknown how he is with other dogs or
cats outside the shelter setting.
Sweetie is almost 7 years old. She was adopted and then returned, through no fault of her own. She's 67 lbs and her elderly adopter was unable to
safely care for her. She is very sweet!
