Why Fostering During the Pandemic is a Win-Win

Right now might be the perfect time to help out shelters by fostering an animal. With so much uncertainty, fewer people are adopting, and adoption events have been canceled due to social distancing efforts. Some shelters are even suffering from employee shortages now as they need to be at home in self-quarantine. Right now fostering not only helps save the lives of animals but can benefit people that are struggling with stress or social isolation. Fostering a dog or cat can be a terrific option for elderly people missing visits from grandchildren and other loved ones during shelter-in-place precautions.
