Eligibility

To be eligible for Bubbie's Place foster care services, you must be actively seeking an addiction treatment program (or in recovery) for drugs and/or alcohol.

We understand that pet care can be a real barrier to entering treatment. Our goal is to remove that barrier so you can focus entirely on your recovery journey.
