We also foster some of the sick and injured dogs and cats who may be languishing in the shelters simply because they are perceived as not well enough to get adopted. Often all they may need is time to recover from a limp, minor surgery, or a mild case of the sniffles. Each foster parent chooses the animal they wish to help, whether it is one or more at a time. It is always up to them. Foster parents are asked to transport their foster pets to adoption events and be available for providing information regarding their traits and personalities.
Free ads are available to foster parents through community publications.
Photos and fliers can also be placed in veterinary offices, local pet food stores, and other places of business.
