Fostering is a selfless act of compassion. It saves lives while freeing up shelter space so another pet can have a second chance! 

Fostering also: 

• Provides a safe, nurturing place to recuperate if a pet is recovering from surgery, illness, or injury

• Provides the time the pet needs to be ready for adoption

• Allows time for behavior assessments to be completed outside of a stressful environment

• Allows time for a pet to de-stress to prevent cage aggression or withdrawal

• Allows time for the pet to socialize with people and other pets 
  Provides quality time with a pet allows its true personality to shine through

 

What’s the benefit of fostering?

• It provides an opportunity to “sample” different kinds of pets

• There’s always something to do with your foster from cuddling to playing fetch

• Seeing a pet blossom is such a rewarding feeling

• Fostering may encourage others to open their homes to a pet in need

• Fostering helps prevent the euthanasia of healthy, adoptable pets

• Some foster-related expenses may be tax-deductible
