S6E4: The Challenges and Joy of Fostering Rescue Animals

If you’re a no-kill animal shelter or an animal rescue group and you’ve got more animals than kennels to keep them in, or you’ve got dogs or cats with health or behavioral problems that need sorting out to render the animals adoptable, what are you going to do? You’re going to call an animal fosterer like Rena Curtis to take that animal in, de-traumatize it, teach it some manners, and get its health problems sorted out so it can go a-courtin’ its forever people. Tune in as we discuss this hard, sometimes frightening, occasionally heart-wrenching, but ultimately satisfying work, why there are so many more dogs and cats than homes to put them in, and what we can do to change that situation.
