Foster Care Program
PetRescue’s goal is to increase the number of foster carers annually through awareness campaigns. These campaigns highlight the vital role foster carers play in keeping pets safe, and aim to inspire households to consider offering temporary homes.
If only 1% of PetRescue website visitors became foster carers, that could mean 14,000 additional temporary homes available for pets in need across the country.
By connecting more people with this rewarding experience, we can give more vulnerable pets the care they deserve while they wait for their loving, permanent homes.
PetRescue’s foster care program shines a light on the vital role temporary carers play in keeping pets safe and supported while they wait for permanent homes. By providing a loving, nurturing environment, foster carers help pets feel secure, comfortable, and ready to thrive in their future homes.
More pets in foster care not only increases the rescue community's ability to help more at-risk and vulnerable pets but also allows for a quicker and more effective response to emergencies. With more space available in shelters, they can better assist in situations where help is most needed.
A foster care network also provides a community-based solution for unexpected medical or crisis situations, giving pets that already have a loving home a safe place to stay when temporary care is required.
