Fostering Saves Lives!
What is fostering?
Fostering is a commitment you make to take care of an animal until they are adopted.
That can take days, weeks, months or longer. It is incredibly rewarding, fun and it is also really hard work.
Animals in a new environment take time to warm up and acclimate to their new home. Just like humans, they each have their own personality. Many of them have had it rough before settling in with you. It is not always instant puppy kisses and kitten cuddles.
Fostering is a lot of patience, cleaning, feeding, sometimes medicating and did we mention cleaning?
At the end of the experience almost all of our fosters continue to foster.
The goodbyes are hard, sometimes fosters end up being the adopters ("foster fail" is the technical term) but at the end of it all fostering saves lives and is a very rewarding experience.
We rely heavily on individuals who will take our rescues into their home and nurture them while we work on finding a forever home for the pet.
All supplies and medical care are provided.
