You know what ACS could really use for Christmas? Foster Families. Foster Families give a rescue organization the opportunity to expand, provide better and more complete care for our animals, and give animals that need a little extra help the care that they need to prepare for their new forever homes.
Adding foster families to a rescue’s network gives us the opportunity to take in more animals. We not only are freeing up a space by putting an animal in a different location, but we are also increasing the audience to which we are adopting. When you take your foster animal out in public, talk about it with your friends and family, or advertise for them on social media, you are increasing the shelter’s adoption base. People who have never heard of our organization are now being exposed to not only us, but our animals. This means more people willing and able to adopt our animals! When more people adopt, we can take more animals in- multiplying not only what we are able to do but the foster’s contribution to our organization and our animals.
Foster families can also help a rescue to provide better and more complete care for our animals. Our daily activities and care are not always enough to help an animal overcome all of their own difficulties. A shy dog or cat can benefit much more from the consistency of a foster home to make them secure than the stress and chaos of the shelter. Our staff also does not typically have the time to care for kittens or puppies that need bottle feeding- which is quite a time commitment! A foster family that has the time and the ability to work with animals that closely is extremely beneficial not only to helping care for the animal, but preparing them to go into their forever homes and be happy and healthy outside of the shelter.
Foster families would be a fantastic gift for ACS for Christmas so we can expand and help even more animals into their forever homes for this Christmas and Christmases to come. Apply online to join our Foster Network today! http://ow.ly/2ZP330hcBDS
