Mission Statement
Furry Foster's mission is to connect homeless pets with loving foster homes.
We're dedicated to
- promoting public awareness about pet fostering
- creating new pet foster homes
- and providing resources for pet foster parents and rescue foster programs
We strive to increase the effectiveness of local rescue organizations by connecting them with their most essential resource, foster homes. On behalf of homeless pets everywhere, we're creating a world where every pet can find a home and none are threatened by euthanasia or life in the shelter.
Description
Furry Foster started with one San Diego foster parent trying to help local rescues solve an important problem: finding more foster homes so they could rescue more pets. Furry Foster is a non-profit organization that helps homeless pets by connecting them with loving foster homes and supports the hard work of local rescue organizations. We believe that ...
we can make an impact on the lives of over 3 million pets who are euthanized each year, one by one. We know that every new foster home we create is a life that's saved and every foster animal you take in is one that will be someone's forever family member. If you can foster even one time, you're helping us make a difference.
We're dedicated to ...
- promoting public awareness about pet fostering
- creating new pet foster homes
- and providing resources for pet foster parents and rescue foster programs
We do it because...
our team and volunteers are made up of true animal lovers. By connecting local rescue organizations with their most essential resource, foster homes, we make an impact everyday on a pet who would otherwise be euthanized. On behalf of homeless pets, we envision a world where every pet becomes a family member and no pet is sentenced to death. Every new foster home brings us one paw closer to that goal.
Our job is to help pets and support rescues but, we can't do it wihout the help of volunteers like you. Join us on our mission to create 10,000 new foster homes in 2012.
