Dallas Animal Services (DAS) is celebrating National Foster a Pet Month by recognizing foster heroes and calling for additional foster support.
National Foster a Pet Month is part of the Petco Foundation’s Pledge to Save Pet Lives which encourages animal lovers to adopt, foster, volunteer and/or donate this summer with a goal of inspiring 1.5 million pledges to match the approximate number of pets unnecessarily euthanized in shelters each year in the U.S.
“It is an honor to recognize the Local Foster Heroes who are making a difference in their communities and demonstrating the lifesaving impact of fostering pets,” said Petco Foundation the response to the COVID-19 crisis, we saw a significant spike in the number of people fostering pets.
Our goal is to continue this trend, inspire more people to join the pet fostering movement, and make pets sheltering in foster homes, versus animal shelters, the new normal.
DAS is in need of new foster volunteers, especially during the warm months of the year, when kitten season is in full effect.
