The Ultimate Guide to Fostering a Rescue: What to Expect
PawStories Team
June 1, 2024
Fostering a rescue is one of the most direct ways you can help reduce shelter overcrowding and save lives.
The Foster Journey
When you foster, you provide a temporary, loving home for an animal in need. The rescue provides medical care and supplies, and you provide the TLC.
What to Expect:
- The Decompression Phase: The first few days are about letting them sleep and feel safe.
- Building Trust: Earning the trust of a frightened dog or cat is incredibly rewarding.
- Saying Goodbye: Yes, it is hard to let them go, but seeing them thrive in their forever home makes it all worth it!
