Why Fostering Matters

For the Animal:
You are giving them something a shelter can’t always provide—peace, attention, and a stable space to grow and thrive. That short time in your home may be what changes the course of their life forever.

For the Rescue Community:
Fosters save lives. By stepping up, you’re reducing overcrowding, lowering euthanasia rates, and making space for more animals in need. Fostering also helps shelters better understand each animal’s personality so they can be matched with the right family.

For Society:
Fostering builds a compassionate, animal-friendly community. When people see animals thriving in foster homes, it encourages adoption and volunteering. You are part of a larger solution to pet homelessness.
