Foster a Furry Friend

Why foster?

You see it in shelters all over the country; they are full, overflowing. Some have to put several dogs in one kennel to prevent euthanasia. Often times dogs who come to the shelter sick, even with very minor illnesses, are put down because shelters barely have the resources to care for the healthy.

Many shelters have rescues that work with them, so you would think the rescues could take in all of those sick and over-abuntant animals; but then the rescues fill or the finances deplete,  then what happens?

Many rescues have the flexibility to allow you to foster anywhere from 24 hours to long-term, healthy dogs or dogs with medical problems. Many rescues provide all vetting, food, etc. You could even foster a cat.

If it breaks your heart when you see the commercials of animals in cruel and depressing situations and you haven't done it yet, contact your local rescue or shelter and open your home up to an animal in need. It may be cliche to say you could save a life, but you could, by simply opening your home to a dog or cat in need.
