When you think of bringing home a dog, you probably think you’re going to keep him. That doesn’t necessarily have to be the case! There are many wonderful reasons to foster a dog instead of adopting one.
Fostering animals saves lives. By spending time with a family instead of locked up in a cage at the shelter, they learn acceptable behaviors, which in turn makes them more adoptable.
It can be great for your family too. It feels good to give back and do something nice for animals in need. It also gives you a chance to give owning a dog a practice run. You can see what having a dog would look like, and by fostering different kinds of dogs, you can find a breed or an energy level that works for you without having to do any guessing.
