Foster
I would rather cry watching them leave our home to live a life of happiness and joy in a loving home, than cry because no one stepped up to help them and they died alone, frightened and sad in the shelter.
If you are here, we know you are considering opening your home to foster animals! Pawsitive Match is always on the lookout for families ready to welcome in a foster cat or dog. Fostering is a very rewarding and educational experience, and a great way to get some hands-on experience with pet ownership. By placing our animals in homes when they arrive, they are able to become accustomed to family life while we find them the purrfect home. Not only that, when you open your home to a foster animal, it frees up space for other animals who are potentially in life threatening situations to come into our care, so you are literally saving a life!
Pawsitive Match Rescue Foundation relies upon its foster family volunteers to
- Provide love and care for the foster animal in preparation for their adoption
- Transport their foster animal to vet clinics for necessary health care
- Provide us with photos and information about their personality for their online adoption profile
- Bring their foster animal to adoption events
- Arrange meetings with the potential adoptive family
In return, Pawsitive Match Rescue Foundation provides our foster families with
- All the necessary supplies (food, litter, toys, treats, etc.)
- Full support via email and phone calls
- A sense of community among other foster families and volunteers
- Training support, as needed
You must be certain that your own pets will accept and get along with foster dogs or cats. You must also ensure your pets are up-to-date on their vaccinations prior to taking in foster animals.
