Foster for Pet Refuge

Why is "fostering" so important?  When a cat or dog comes to us for placement, they have usually come from a home.  Although, some do well adjusting to the shelter, it can be stressful.  Puppies and kittens need to be monitored more often than volunteers that come to clean at the shelter can offer.  Cats, especially, can stop eating due to stress at the shelter and become sick.  Fostering is a great way to help those cats and dogs during their transition period, between permanent homes.  Medical and food is provided by Pet Refuge.  If the cat or dog comes to us as a stray, you can help them by potty training, obedience work and socialization, which will help them; in turn, go into their new permanent home knowing good manners.
