What Is Fostering?
Fostering an animal means that you provide shelter, food, water, and love in your home for an animal waiting for adoption. Depending on the animal, you may also be required to administer medicine or work to develop the animal’s social skills.
Foster homes are incredibly important. They are the heart of our rescue and provide a safe and loving haven for our rescued animals until they find forever homes. By offering your time, energy and home to an animal in need, you prepare the animal for adoption into a permanent home.

Fostering an animal can be short term or long term; it really depends on the animal and how long he/she is in our care before being adopted. We are unable to tell our foster homes how long an animal will be with them.
