Over 4 million animals in a local shelter will be euthanized annually if they are not adopted or saved by a rescue group.
Foster homes provide a way for a rescue organization to maximize the number of animals taken out of the pound and placed into a loving home temporarily until they find their permanent loving home.
The number of dogs that can be helped depends entirely on the number of people who are willing to open their hearts and homes to injured, unwanted, abandoned, and special needs pups.
A foster home provides an animal the opportunity to be exposed to real life and home experiences that the pound or shelter can not.
It is an environment that promotes safety/security and freedom for growth/learning.
People take in scared little ones into their homes, show them love, socialize/rehabilitate them so that they feel comfortable coming out of their shells and transforming into wonderful pets.
Fostering is truly a gift for the doggie foster as well.
A foster parent gets to learn about the health, behavior, and diverse personality traits of various dogs.
Doggie fosters enjoy the therapeutic benefits of unconditional love in addition to knowing that they played an integral role in making a huge positive impact on a small dog's life.
Once the dog is adopted out, the foster parent gets to help save another homeless pup.
By fostering an animal, it allows room for the rescue group to take in more animals.
Before: Dunkin the Doxie sat in a shelter for way too long before the Chihuahua Rescue of San Diego took him in.
He was scared of everything and everyone because someone did not treat him right.
After: Dunkin is starting to feel the love from the volunteers and is coming out of his shell.
He now knows that there are good humans out there.
He will be rehabilitated by our dedicated network of foster homes which will allow him to be re-homed as soon as possible.
Foster homes give animals a second chance at life that they otherwise might not have if the animals stay in an overpopulated shelter that may have to use euthanasia as a management tool to make room for other unwanted animals.
Oftentimes, foster homes serve as an on-call resource for an animal in an emergency, so that the pet can recover without the stress of being around other dogs.
