Why Foster an Cat or Dog?

February 27, 2019 By //  by Roatan Animal Support Leave a Comment

Fostering a dog or cat means that a homeless animal comes into your home. You care for them, socialize them, love them, train them, and give them attention. This may be for a predetermined time period, or it may be until they have been adopted into a permanent home.

Why Do We Need Foster Homes?

Currently, as we do not have a shelter, foster homes on Roatan are essential for helping rescued animals heal. There’s a number of reasons why an animal adoption groups always need foster homes.

  • Puppies or kittens who are too young to be placed in their forever homes sometimes live in foster homes.
  • Dogs who are ill, injured or recovering from surgery can be placed in a foster home while they heal and recuperate.
  • If an animal has never lived in a family home or has had limited contact with humans, they can be placed with a foster home to help with socialization.

Why Should I Foster an Animal?

Fostering a dog is an incredibly rewarding experience. When you take a homeless dog into your home temporarily, you’re not only helping him prepare to be the best ‘good dog’ he can be, you’re also:

  • Helping us learn about the animal, so they can be placed in a forever home suited to their needs.
  • Socializing them, getting them accustomed to being around people, pets, and in a family environment.

How Do I Foster A Dog or Cat?

Contact us directly and volunteer to be a foster home. Once you have been approved,  we will work with you to place the right animal with you.
