Did you know, if 2% of the pet-owning households in the U.S. fostered 1 pet once a year, we could end euthanasia?
According to the Petco Foundation, if less than 2% of the pet-owning households in the U.S. fostered 1 pet once a year, we could eliminate unnecessary euthanasia tomorrow.
Each year, approximately 7.6 million companion animals enter animal shelters due to owner surrender or because they were found wandering in the streets. Of those animals, nearly 3 million dogs and cats are euthanized every year because shelters are at maximum capacity and there are not enough adoptive homes. Of that 3 million euthanized, 80% of those animals are healthy and had the potential to be adopted.
Want to make the world a better place in one easy step? Take home a foster pet to love and nurture them until they can be placed in a permanent home! Fostering gives pets who may not thrive in a shelter setting a chance to be healthy and happy, and shows potential adopters what a great personality the animal has in a home setting. Being a foster family can be such a vital part of a pet's journey, and sometimes mean the difference between a pet finding permanent sanctuary, or not. Fostering also opens up a spot for another pet in need of placement at the shelter.
