What are foster home responsibilities?
Foster homes provide the love and shelter while Furry Friends Network pays for food, toys, crates if necessary, and all medical care. A foster home is invaluable because the foster parent gains insight to the animal’s personality to help us better match them with the perfect home. The foster parent needs to be able to transport the animal (as applicable) to and from vet appointments. In addition, our foster animals are taken to our weekend pet adoption events for people to meet them. It is a very good idea to participate since these create interest in the foster animal(s). If you want to be involved in your foster animal’s adoption, you can help process adoption applications submitted for your animal or help with the home visits. By doing so, you have the opportunity to get to know the prospective adopters for your foster animal. You will be able to see the interaction between the animal and the family and help with the adoption decision.
