What is “fostering” and how does the Animal Welfare League of Arlingtons fostering program work?
In our fostering program trained League volunteers care for animals in their homes until the animals are ready to be returned to the League for adoption. The program primarily aids the hundreds of underage, unweaned, or undersocialized kittens that are brought to us every year. Some kittens are brought in with the mother cat, but orphaned kittens often require round-the-clock bottle feeding. We have also fostered puppies and adult dogs in this program. We always need more caring, dedicated people to become foster parents.
