June is National Foster a Pet Month!
When you foster a pet, you are providing a temporary home for an animal waiting to be adopted. Fostering is a wonderful way to support your local animal shelter and aid in finding homes for pets.
Best Friends Animal Society shares 4 reasons that fosters are needed:
- Foster care can help save an animal’s life when a shelter is full, and it frees up space for more animals to be saved.
- Some animals don’t do well in a shelter environment because they are frightened or need a little extra care.
- Newborn animals who need to be nursed or bottle-fed usually need foster care.
- Some animals need time and a calm environment to recover from an illness or injury before adoption.
If you aren’t able to adopt a new pet, but want to help your local shelter, consider fostering!

Maybe a dog news anchor would make listening to all the terrible things going on in the world a bit easier 🤷🐶🐾

Northeast Kansas Animal Welfare Foundation has partnered with Home To Home® to help families with pets in our area. This interactive tool will give pet owners who can no longer keep their pets the opportunity to find new, loving homes without having to surrender them to the shelter. Pets can go from one home right into another, which means less stress for animals and humans alike. In addition, this offers potential new owners the opportunity to communicate directly with the current owners, providing firsthand information about the animals.
In addition to rehoming, the Home To Home® foster network directly connects pet owners who are seeking temporary housing for their pet with individuals who can open up their homes and hearts to provide short-term care until the pet can be reunited with its family.
