We Are Looking For A Few Great Fosters
This is Temp, he is about 2 years old and has been in the shelter for a total of 458 days. He makes the most of his time at the shelter loving on the staff and volunteers at the shelter. He would love to find a foster home for a while to get out of the shelter and into a home. He is a very sweet guy who just needs a couch to crash on for a while to get a break.
While many dogs and cats available for adoption are young, healthy and great with other people, dogs and cats, it can take a long time for us to find them homes of their own.
Large breed dogs can be a challenge to adopt in Albany, often due to rental or home-owners association restrictions. We have a lot of fabulous dogs here who end up staying in our shelter for weeks to months or longer. They really need a break from shelter life. Fostering is the key to helping them re-charge, just for a bit they get a new home and walks in your neighborhood.
This January, we are asking our Albany dog lovers to take home a long-stay resident for five days (or longer).
Fostering is a great New Year’s resolution, if you want to make a big impact in a short amount of time. It’s so rewarding, for both the foster and the dog.
