Why is foster care necessary?
Even with our dedicated staff and volunteers, for some animals, a shelter setting still falls short of what they need to become ready for adoption. We cannot replace the care and attention that a home setting provides. We foster kittens and puppies less than 8 weeks of age to give them important socialization and nurturing. We foster adult dogs and cats if they need some time to recuperate from any medical condition we might be treating. We also need foster care for small companion animals to determine if they are adoptable. Foster care also helps when it comes time to assess an animal for adoption. Each animal comes back from its foster home with an individualized evaluation that is shared with a potential adopter to illuminate what life with a particular animal will be like.
