what is a foster?

Fostering a dog means temporarily opening your home to an animal in need. You can foster through the specific shelter or for a RESCUE.  Fostering allows the animal to receive love, care, and attention in a home while he/she waits to be adopted. 

Fostering can be done through the shelter or through a specific Rescue.  Rescues typically provide the food and items the dog needs in addition to covering the veterinarian bills.
