LEXINGTON HUMANE SOCIETY’S FOSTER CARE PROGRAM
F
HELPS PETS FIND FOREVER HOMES
ostering is a highly rewarding experience that benefits homeless animals and is fun for you and your family. As a foster parent, you are an invaluable part of the Lexington Humane Society’s (LHS) life-saving team. You make an impact on community animal welfare by directly shaping the future of your foster animals and by helping LHS care for and find forever homes for thousands of animals each year. Last year alone, 1,100 special-case animals were helped through our foster care program … and with your participation, we can help even more. Why Foster? Some animals in need of fostering are simply too young for adoption, need extra love and
socialization to become confident family pets or are recovering from a Second Chances program surgical procedure. Fostering gives us the opportunity to provide all these special animals what they need until they are ready to find their forever homes. Fostering is great for animal lovers who are: • Not quite ready for the lifelong commitment that comes with pet adoption • Empty nesters • Families – fostering is a great way to teach kids about responsible pet ownership, compassion and helping others! Fostering is also great for anyone looking for a way to truly make a difference in an animal’s life.
What animals need foster care? • Kittens & puppies under the age of 8 weeks • Moms with nursing litters • Extra TLC animals (on medication, in need of love and socialization) • Long-term residents who could use a break from shelter life What does a foster parent provide? • Love and kindness – the most important things our animals need are free! • A safe and secure environment and a willingness to address the animal’s individual needs • Basic necessities such as toys, treats, & food LHS Continued on Page 26
