When we put out the call for the Pet Foster Care Stimulus Grant applications, we never thought we would receive over 1,000 inquiries! You have embraced foster care like never before, and for that we are grateful. A silver lining of the COVID-19 pandemic is that pets are spending more time in foster homes than ever before and many shelters have emptied out!
This grant will provide assistance to shelter and rescue organizations in providing the best care possible to the animals in foster care and help manage your population through foster care. It will also help reinforce foster care as a standard operating procedure for animal sheltering as we move forward. Foster care is no longer just “the future,” it’s now!
Please join us in congratulating the recipients below!
