Sheltering Together

Many kind humans have stepped up to foster animals, eliminating the burden from shelter workers while we’re all stuck at home, sheltering in place. While sharing your home with a pet can provide emotional comfort and entertainment during this unique time, bringing a new animal into your house isn’t without challenges! Inviting a new pet into the family can be a very exciting and yet overwhelming time. Some homeless pets have never lived in a home before. Your new foster friend may not be potty trained. Or, they may be fearful and struggling to adjust. That’s where we come in.
