Ever wondered why fostering is such an integral component of animal sheltering? You’ve come to the right place!
Below, Shelter Manager Nikki Baltas fills in the blanks on cat and dog fostering. Interesting insights & humane inspiration ahead:
Fostering is essential at Baypath because…
It provides a safe and nurturing environment for animals who need extra care or time before adoption. Foster homes reduce stress and offer personalized attention to prepare cats and dogs for their adoptive families.
Fostering has a ripple effect in animal welfare by…
Freeing up shelter space, which allows us to help more animals in need. Fostering also helps potential adopters see animals at their best, making it easier for them to find loving homes.
Both cats & dogs benefit from fostering in unique ways including…
For shy and under socialized cats, fostering helps them feel safe and builds confidence in a quieter environment. Dogs benefit from the structure and training foster homes can provide, which helps them adjust more seamlessly to family life. Fostering provides young puppies and kittens with stress-free home environments where they can receive socialization and care critical for healthy development.
We hear from our fosters that the most rewarding aspect of the process is…
Seeing an animal transform and thrive under their care, knowing they played a critical role in giving them a second chance. Many fosters say the moment their foster pet finds a forever home is bittersweet but deeply fulfilling.
Currently, Baypath is seeking fosters for…
Animals with special medical or behavioral needs, as well as young kittens and puppies who require extra care. We’re also looking for homes for long-term shelter residents who would thrive in a more personal environment.
