Basics of Fostering Shelter Pets
Mergers and acquisitions professional Matthew Brunstrum has helped close lucrative business deals for lower-middle market clients in the Chicago area. Outside of his work in advisory services, Matthew Brunstrum is a longtime supporter of the animal rescue organization PAWS Chicago, which has placed thousands of abandoned animals in foster homes.
Fostering is a great way to help homeless animals without making the lifelong commitment of adoption. Dogs or cats may be placed with a foster home for a predetermined length of time or until a forever home is found. Volunteers who foster pets help make room in the animal rescue for weaker animals and play an important role in ensuring that the foster pet can adapt to living with humans.
While animals of all ages can do well in a foster home, younger dogs and cats may require more hands-on training. For example, very young kittens may require frequent bottle-feeding, and puppies may need to be housebroken and taught basic commands. Similarly, animals that have been neglected or abused in former homes will need a quiet and safe home environment to rebuild their trust in humans.
Anyone who is interested in fostering animals should discuss their lifestyle, preferences, and prior pet ownership experience with animal rescue staff. This information will help determine which type of pet would be best suited for the volunteer’s home.
