Pet fostering and adoption

  There are many wonderful reasons to become a foster parent to a shelter dog or cat in need:

• Privilege of offering a needy animal a safe, comforting and supportive environment while she waits to be adopted.
• Help socialize a shelter pet to enhance his adoption potential
• Reduce the animal’s stress, which improves his adoptability
• Enjoy the benefits of pet ownership if you are unable to keep a full-time pet due to lifestyle or other restrictions

  Adoption gives animals a second chance to have safe and loving homes. Adopting pets is a way to support local shelters instead of supporting breeding facilities or puppy mills 

that have cruel practices. Adopting a pet from a shelter saves more than just one life. By adopting, you are helping to free up space in the shelter, which gives the shelter

more space to rescue more animals. 

Adopting an animal means you are getting a pet that has received appropriate medical care. 

Most shelters will vaccinate, spay/neuter, and microchip 

animals before they are adopted.
