Fostering is a crucial part of the animal rescue world 

Fostering highly increases an animal’s chance of getting adopted. Animals in foster care tend to be better socialized, better adjusted to living as a pet. It also helps potential adopters get to see what a great personality the animal has in a home setting.

Some animals are not ready to be adopted immediately. In addition to needing extra love and care, they have to learn to trust people and to live in a human environment. Foster parents help these animals by providing a temporary home until the animal is ready for adoption.

You feel good, your shelter or rescue group helps more animals, and your foster pet is happy, healthy, and well-socialized. Talk about win-win-win!

HOW TO GET STARTED: fill out a foster application

Fostering means taking a dog into your home and treating him or her as your own pet for a temporary period of time. The average time for fostering is approximately 2 weeks, but some dogs get adopted in as little as 5 days, some take a month or more depending on a lot of different factors.
