When a pet is placed in foster care, this is usually the first time in a long time, that they have had a comfy, safe, and loving environment to rest their heads. From a life of prior neglect and/or abandonment, this is often times the first opportunity they have to learn trust and loyalty from not only their new temporary human family, but their other animal friends as well (when deemed appropriate).
We try to be as flexible as possible with your schedule. Please remember we are volunteer run at the end of they day, so a 24-hour response turn-around in non-emergency situations is common.
You can foster anywhere from one day to years; it truly depends on your and the animals comfortability, how long you want to commit, etc. We will never leave an animal in your care that is not suitable for either you or them.
It’s REWARDING & FUN. For fellow animal lovers, there is no better feeling than witnessing an animal flourish under your care, especially if they had any issues prior to being in your placement. Watching your foster pet end up in their forever may be bittersweet, trust us, we’ve been there.. BUT this is the whole mission and is one of the most heartwarming feelings. Just remember, another pet placed in their forever home not only gives us the opportunity to continue helping more animals, but hopefully gives you the desire to continue fostering and helping our mission as well
