"Dogs
come when they're called; cats take a message and get back to you later."
Foster Care Foster parents temporarily house shelter animals until they are adopted. The foster parent program serves many purposes. First, time is not on the side of a shelter animal. By temporarily fostering a dog or cat, volunteers can give LCAS the time needed to find a good and appropriate home for the adoptee. Second, not all animals do well in a shelter, particularly those who have always been in a home. By fostering, much of the stress the adoptee is facing is alleviated. Additionally, any training that is provided can help insure the adoptee will always have a good home. The benefits of fostering are numerous. Volunteers can help a needy animal greatly without making a lifetime commitment. While the adoptee is in a foster home, the animal can be given unconditional, non-judgmental love. A pet can receive the break it needs and deserves, and foster parents can see the pure joy on its face and that of its permanent owner when they discover each other at an adoption. And should a foster parent decide life just wouldn't be complete without this wonderful pet, the foster parent may decide to adopt the animal. If you want to foster a pet, please call our shelter today. Tel (281) 332-5777 League
