Fostering saves lives

Become a foster

Fostering rescue animals saves lives by providing a temporary, loving home for animals and freeing up space and resources in shelters.

This helps reduce overcrowding and, in some cases, euthanasia. Foster homes also help animals socialize, heal from trauma, and prepare for adoption, making them more likely to find a permanent home.

A quiet home is far less stressful than a noisy shelter, which helps pets decompress, build confidence, and avoid illness. Fostering provides the one-on-one attention needed for specific cases, such as: Orphaned puppies and kittens who need round-the-clock feeding and care, animals recovering from surgery, injury, or abuse, pets with behavioral issues who need dedicated training and socialization to prepare them for adoption.

"If you have ever thought about fostering, please do. There are so many older dogs and puppies that need help! God doesn't call us to serve when it's convenient sometimes, but you serve when you're needed."

Every animal placed in a foster home opens up a spot in the shelter for another animal in need, directly reducing overcrowding and euthanasia rates. Foster caregivers act as "publicists" for their animals, exposing them to new potential adopters through their personal networks and social media, which extends the reach into the community.
