FOSTERS make ALL the DIFFERENCE

---

PAWS Foster Program (benefiting Longview Animal Care and Adoption Center shelter animals) is one of the essential ingredients to our life-saving formula and you can be a part of that equation.

We believe that all animals entering the shelter deserve to have the best possible chance at finding a loving, permanent home. A foster parent has one of the most important jobs at the shelter. Foster parents allow our animals to receive the proper care and attention they deserve as they wait for adoption, rescue or transport. As a foster parent you’ll not only save the lives of animals in your care but you’ll give other animals coming into the shelter a space to find their own loving homes. 

If those aren’t enough reasons to become a foster parent, consider these:

• Foster animals are temporary companions offering their love freely
• You’ll be helping to socialize a shelter animal so they become more adoptable and better companions
• You can put that spare bedroom to good use
• Fostering helps you explore many different breeds of dogs and cats
• If for some reason you can’t keep a full-time companion animal, fostering for short time periods is an ideal solution
• You’ll know that you’re making a huge difference in the lives of your fosters and other animals at the shelter
