Pet Foster Opportunities with Pet Friends
Pet Friends would like to announce that due to the upcoming kitten season, Foster Family opportunities are available. Both Cat and Dog foster pets will be available, for kittens, puppies, and adults. We are looking for people who would be dedicated to providing a temporary home for an animal or two, to help with the animal care at Pet Friends. The ideal candidates would accept the animal into their home as if it was their own, and provide love and care on a one-on-one basis to the animal. A secondary option is to foster the animal while it resides at Pet Friends; regular visits, and spending quality play time with the animal would be a great benefit for the cat or dog, and help them become more adoptable in the future. There are cats who would become more accepting of people, with additional time spent along side of them, and dogs who are just looking to find some person to play with and befriend. Kittens and puppies who could really use a person to look up to and hang with. And it just feels good to be that special person in a cat's or dog's life.
