Have you considered becoming a foster parent with LHS, but you’re concerned about getting too attached or the time commitment? Fostering is a powerful act of kindness that directly saves lives. So, instead of holding back for fear of saying goodbye, think of the difference you can make in an animal’s life in just a short amount of time. Fostering is flexible! You get to set the schedule — whether it’s a weekend, a couple of weeks, or a couple of months, your time helps to give animals the second chance they deserve. LHS foster parents like Shannon Million and her family know exactly what it’s like to provide love, space, and comfort to animals who need a break from the shelter, helping them get one step closer to adoption. Shannon shares, “My family really loves having the opportunity to be part of the process of helping an animal find their perfect home. Seeing a foster end up with the most wonderful family is such a rewarding experience. It was tough to see our last one go, but our kids really learned a lot about doing what’s best for an animal and thinking about the bigger picture. I think fostering is a great opportunity for someone who wants to contribute but may not be in a place to commit to owning an animal. We are looking forward to fostering again soon!”
