The most common question I get as a foster is “aren’t you afraid you’ll get attached?”......my answer is “Well it wouldn’t be the worst thing if I find a soulmate, but I go into each foster knowing they are not mine I’m just helping them feel safe and getting to understand their individual personalities to help them get best matched with their furrever home.” Sure animals are adorable but when looking to adopt wouldn’t you want to know if they would be a great fit into your home? That’s my job - to best describe their personalities and needs to make their adoption into a safe loving home a success.
Cape Ann Animal Aid provides EVERYTHING needed to foster... As a foster all you need to provide is a safe loving environment and practice patience while helping animals find furrever homes!
I highly recommend becoming a foster with Cape Ann Animal Aid to anyone who has a little bit of space, time, patience & tons of love to give these animals who need it!
