Fostering – it sounds like a big commitment to foster a shelter animal, and it can be.  But sometimes, the shelter only needs a foster home for a few days or a couple of weeks, until a dog or cat can be transported to another rescue or foster home. 

Getting them out of the shelter for those few days makes room for another dog or help who needs help. 

If you want to try being a short-term foster, contact the shelter at (512) 549-5160.
