Adopting a homeless animal is compassionately choosing to provide a safe and loving forever home for an animal in need. When you adopt, you save the life of that animal and make room for another that can be rescued. Adoption fees cover the expenses of the spay\/neuter, deworming and vaccinations. You support a non profit organization which puts the welfare of animals first. Adopting is rewarding and enriches our lives mentally, emotionally and physically.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Why foster?” open_toggle_text_color=”rgba(255,255,255,0.7)” open_toggle_background_color=”#3a94d3″ icon_color=”#3a94d3″ _builder_version=”3.22.4″ max_width=”100%” open=”off”]<\/p>\n

Fostering provides a loving home for an animal in need. When you foster, you provide a temporary safe haven for a homeless pet until we are able find a forever home. To an animal in need, a foster home is a bridge to a better life. It is the foundation that allows us to save as many lives as possible.<\/p>\n

Fostering<\/strong> is short term and provides a temporary safe and loving home for a rescued animal until it is adopted. Food, bedding and supplies needed to care for the animal while in a foster home will be provided by the organization. Adopting<\/strong> is long term and provides a permanent safe and loving home for a rescued animal. The adoptive family is responsible for continuing care of their new pet.<\/p>\n
