No kill animal shelters like North Shore Animal League are, not surprisingly, full of animals.
The thing is, some of these animals are too old or disabled or have the kind of special needs that makes them ‘unadoptable’. And yet, doesn’t the idea of these bundles of fur, purrs and love-ready-to-go living their lives in the confines of the shelter break your heart?
Places like North Shore are veritable havens for abandoned and otherwise condemned animals. They give these babies a life and a place to live. They make sure the animals are well-cared for and loved and yet….as even they say, it is no subsitute for a real home, something all the animals deserve.
And that’s where becoming a pet foster parent comes in.
It’s a perfect solution for someone who wants a pet but doesn’t have the extended time in their lives to commit for the next 15 to 20 years (perhaps you move around too much because of your job…), just as it’s perfect for someone who wants to simply help out.
The pets looking for a foster home are wide and varied. Basically they are animals who aren’t quite ready for adoption but would love a warm, sweet home to rest in for a while. They are very young and very old, some have special needs, others are recovering from birthing babies and surgery…they are animals looking for love.
The great thing about fostering a pet is medical treatment is covered for the animal as well as food, bowls, litter and the like.
If you want a pet but are not sure about a life-time commitment, or simply want to help make one of our four-legged friend’s lives better it’s easy to become a foster parent.
