Fostering a Pet

Fostering a pet is taking a pet, from a shelter, that is in need of a home to stay in until it can be adopted. The time length of their stay varies from weeks to months. Being a foster owner can save homeless pets. Dogs and cats are the most common pets needing foster homes, but some organizations need help with rabbits, birds, and other animals. 

• Pets may need foster care because a shelter near them is full.
• They may need extra care or attention in a safe environment.
• Some animals are frightened in a shelter.
• Newborns need to be nursed or bottle-fed.
• Some animals need to recover from an illness or injury before adoption.

The Animal Rescue League (ARL) is looking for families or individuals willing to provide their home as a safe place for animals. For more information, visit their website!
