All of our dogs and cats live in foster homes until they are adopted. That saves us money because we don't have to pay boarding or shelter fees. It also gives our potential adopters a more realistic idea of what that pet is like, and allows us some time to teach the dog or cat how to be a good family member.

• Fostering is fun, rewarding, teaches responsibility and costs virtually nothing.
  
• Fostering allows you to experience the love and devotion of a rescued dog or cat.
  
• Fostering can give your family a "trial run" to help you decide if you're ready to take on the responsibility of having a pet.
  
• Our fosters are young, old, single, couples, families, - anyone with love and patience to share with a homeless pet!

• While we prefer that you bring your foster dog or cat to as many adoption events as possible, we also have fostering opportunties for people whose schedules don't allow for regular event attendance.
