SAVE A LIFE Foster Care a wonderful program

I SAVED A LIFE CAN'T YOU?

THIS PUP WAS SAVED

Many of us want to help and definitely want to make a real impact on homeless dogs, puppies, kitties and cats. Many of us are just not ready to own a pet, at least the people I have spoken to and I asked why not FOSTER?   The Foster Care Program is a necessary spoke in animal rescue wheel – without Foster Care no movement can occur.  Rescues Shelters remain full and many of our rescue animals end up at KILL SHELTERS.  Then many say we need to stop euthanasia, well the ability to provide Foster Care is the answer. RIGHT!!! It is a temporary home to a puppy, dog, kittie or cat in need.  It is an immensely rewarding experience so WHY NOT!!!

Many dogs and cats across the nation are living in animal shelters and humane societies, desperately waiting for someone to adopt them and take them to a new home. Unfortunately, it can take a long time for homeless pets to be adopted.

There are Fears that can discourage Foster Care, many feel they will become too attached, and will be unable to give them up. Remember you are providing a loving, caring and stable environment. You are their Mentors, as that of Fostering a Child, and for myself working both in Pet Foster Care and Child Foster Care programs, each of the Foster families face the same fears.

Many of our Foster Families would like to enter the program, but they worry about behaviors of the foster pet. There definitely can be clashes of personality between the foster pet and other members of the family or pets. Remember many of the animal shelters will definitely try to place pets in Foster homes that will best match everyone's personality. Despite these fears entering the Foster Care Program and becoming a Foster Mom, Dad and or family, you are their mentors, you are their best friend saving them from a

"KILL SHELTER" AND THE MANY MOMENTS YOU WILL SHARE WITH THIS ABUSED, HOMELESS PET WILL BE PRICELESS.  

BENEFITS:  A  fairly simple background check is conducted and individuals and/or families can foster a pet just about anywhere. You can Foster if you live in apartments or a house.  You can ask for long-term or short-term placements, large, medium or small pet and the Rescue Shelter will provide the pet with vaccinations, medicines, and other veterinary service. You as a Foster Person or Family are responsible for food and a kind and loving environment.

Foster Care individuals and  families will seek out support from other foster families through the help of the Rescue Shelter.  Fostering a cat or dog brings unrelated people together and helps form new friendships and bonds that otherwise might not exist. Additionally, caring for foster pets brings together pet owners of all types. 

Fostering a puppy, dog, kittie or cat is one of the most rewarding experience that a person or family can and will experience. Both you and the pet will have a unique and nurturing experience. when that special pet is invited temporarily into your home. Through the time spent together and the bonds that are formed, foster families have the ability to change and save the life of a dog or cat. If the foster home does not adopt, they have a say in the adoption process. 

YOU ARE SAVING THE LIFE OF THAT PET ENSURING THEIR SAFETY!

The most important to remember is that you are Saving A Life, isn't that what it is all about? We all want to help, but we talk, and talk, and talk, it is now the time to take action.  All shelters are overcrowded and YOU can make that difference.

 MAKE THAT CHOICE AND ENTER A FOSTER CARE PROGRAM, AT YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD SHELTER. REMEMBER WE ARE THEIR VOICE, WE CHOOSE TO SAVE LIVES RIGHT???? LETS STOP EUTHANASIA. MAKE OUR "KILL SHELTERS" INTO "NO KILL" NETWORK AND BECOME A FOSTER CARE PARENT!!!!!  –  IT COSTS NOTHING BUT YOUR CHANCE TO LOVE, CARE AND SHARE A TIMELESS EXPERIENCE WITH AN ABUSED AND HOMELESS PET.!!!
