Why Fostering Dogs and Cats is So Important and How You Can Get Involved!

An estimated 7.6 million animals enter America’s shelters every year. Countless others are
taken in by organizations who don’t have brick-and-mortar facilities, and therefore, rely on keeping animals in foster homes until they’re adopted. When shelters are running out of space or have animals who are not faring well in a kennel environment, they often rely on these foster-based rescue organizations to take in animals and help them find adoptive homes. Some shelters also have internal fostering programs where individuals work directly with the shelters to provide temporary homes for animals until they’re adopted.
