What is fostering?
Fostering is offering a temporary home to animals in need, helping them transition to adoption, and providing specialized care.
Why foster?
It saves lives by freeing up space and offering one-on-one care that shelters can't always provide.
Benefits of fostering
- For the animals: it provides a home environment away from the stress of the shelter while also offering individualized care and socialization, improving their chances of adoption.
- For the foster parent: It is a rewarding experience without a long-term commitment, while also experiencing companionship and make a difference in an animal's life.
- For the shelter: helps create space for more animals and reduces overcrowding.
Types of animals in need of fostering
- Puppies and kittens: too young to be adopted and needing socialization and growth in a home environment.
- Senior pets: in need of a comfortable, quiet place to relax away from the shelter.
- Medical fosters: animals recovering from surgery or illness needing extra care and rehabilitation.
- Behavioral fosters: pets that need help adjusting to a home environment or overcoming anxiety.
