Foster families can learn all about each animal. Our foster homes provide invaluable information about each animal's personality, their likes and dislikes. Animals are in caring homes, similar to adoptive homes. Here they can reinforce appropriate behavior and manners. This helps in make them attractive to prospective parents. In addition to increasing the likelihood of adoption, our approach also dramatically reduces the chances of an animal being returned. The increased human interaction greatly helps our animals, who too often, come from neglectful or abusive situations.
