The Importance of Foster
Homes
We
will not lie and tell you that fostering a rescued dog is a
"rewarding and wonderful" experience. Being foster parents
can
be both a rewarding and wonderful time in your life,
but it is not all peaches and cream.
Foster homes coupled with volunteerism
are indeed the most important and most needed resource for any rescue or shelter. Having a flexible and reliable group of fosters and volunteers give rescues the
ability to build and to adapt to the ever changing world of animal rescue. The needs of
our rescue can change in the blink of an eye. On Saturday we may
discover we actually have an empty foster home but by Monday be begging for help
again. When we are full, we cannot save the animals in need.
Providing foster care for a dog is a commitment. While
Petite Paws and most other rescue groups make efforts to place foster dogs suited to your home, it can still be
a challenge at times. As much a challenge as fostering can be, it can offer even larger rewards.
The major reward comes on adoption day, just the look in the eyes
of the new parents and you know, you helped make it all happen and
saved the life of an unwanted and abandoned animal.
Two
unaltered dogs and
all their descendents can
theoretically number 67,000
in just six years.
"As
custodians of this planet, it is our responsibility to deal with all species
with kindness, love, and compassion. That these animals suffer through human
cruelty is beyond understanding. Please help to stop the madness."
Richard Gere
Every year in the
United States, an estimated 5 million animals lose their lives in
shelters because they are homeless. That is one pet life lost every
6.5 seconds.
It costs U.S.
taxpayers an estimated 2 billion each year to round up, house, kill
and dispose of homeless animals. The pet overpopulation epidemic is
so staggering that for every animal born in the United States to
have a home, each and every human being would have to own 6 dogs and
9 cats. So, in actuality, a family of four (2 parents and 2 small
children) would have to own 24 dogs and 36 cats. For every child
born, so are 15 dogs and 45 cats.
Pet overpopulation
is a result of the irresponsible behavior of humans. Animals are
just doing what comes naturally.
PLEASE spay and neuter your pets!
Concern for animals is a matter of taking the side of the weak against the
strong, something the best people have always done.
