How To Foster

The need to get dogs and cats off the streets and out of bad situations is growing at an alarming rate. Ward-Wiseman Animal Haven is limited on the number of dogs and cats we can take in. We would like to reach out to the surrounding communities and ask that you would consider fostering a dog or cat in your home. Because of the situations many of these pets come from they do not understand the love of a human or how to act in a household environment.

With fostering you can expect to
⁃ Help with basic household manners
⁃ Help pet with potty training
⁃ Teach valuable social skills
⁃ Help your foster learn to trust and love their human companions
⁃ Provide important feedback on how your foster does around other dogs, cats, children, etc..
⁃ Take lots of cute, adorable pictures to post on the Facebook page and other social media outlets to generate public interest in your foster
⁃ Bring foster to adoption events
⁃ Answer questions potential adopters might have in regards to your foster
⁃ Take your foster to any necessary vet appointments and give them any prescribed medications 
⁃ You will get to watch a scared, sad, and many times depressed dog or cat open up and come out of their shell
⁃ You will get to be there when your foster learns it’s ok to love someone
⁃ You will get to be part of saving a life
⁃ You will have made a difference in the world

By taking in a foster you are saving a life and making a difference in your community. Millions of dogs and cats are put down every year because communities and shelters simply do not have the resources to help them all. Fostering is one of the most rewarding and sometimes challenging experiences you will have. If you would like to be part of a team that is making a difference in the community and open up your home to save a life then please consider filling out the attached foster application and one of our awesome team members will contact you ❤️ FOSTERING APP
