What is Fostering?

Definition:
Fostering means temporarily taking an animal into your home to provide care, safety, and love until they are adopted into a permanent home. It is a vital part of the animal rescue system and often serves as a lifesaving bridge between the shelter and an adopter.

Key Points:

• Fostering helps reduce shelter overcrowding.
  
• It allows animals time to recover from illness or injury, socialize, and gain confidence.
• The goal is always to prepare the animal for adoption, not to create a permanent pet.
