HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN FOSTERING?

I’ve been fostering 5 years.

WHY DO YOU FOSTER?

Life is big and there are so many things out of my control so it is nice to do something where the impact is real for the dog, person and/or family. Helping a dog on their  journey from broken to whole? This I can do!

WHAT'S BEEN YOUR BIGGEST CHALLENGE?

 I have  3 dogs of my own and always leave space for a foster. I struggle with knowing my limits so that I can  do the best for all the dogs in my household. I have learned that 4 dogs is my limit and my challenge is sticking to that when I see another animal in need.

WHAT'S BEEN YOUR BIGGEST SUCCESS?

I don’t know that I can pick just one, I feel a huge Amount of gratitude with all of my fosters and especially when I get pictures and texts from their families showing how loved and happy they are.

WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE SOMEONE CONSIDERING FOSTERING?

I would say, to not think about the “what if’s” and just do it. What your foster needs most ( love, safety, patience and kindness) will come naturally for you and you will be rewarded a 100 times over.
