Foster homes are at the heart of PAWS' ability to save lives. By opening your home temporarily to a pit bull (or other dog, cat, or litter of kittens), you will provide a chance at life to a pet who would otherwise die. Some are too young to be adopted, while some are sick or injured and need time to heal. Others just need to get out of the shelter to make space for incoming animals whose lives depend on it. There is always an animal who needs you; fostering is one of the most rewarding experiences imaginable.
The need for foster care is urgent throughout the year. To learn more about the PAWS Foster Care Program or to get involved, email fosterhotline@phillypaws.org or click here: http://www.phillypaws.org/Foster/default.asp.
