Why Fostering is a Fulfilling Experience

Being a part of helping a homeless dog find a Forever Home is an experience that fills your heart with joy. So many people say that they would not be able to foster because they feel they could never let the dog go. What they don’t realize is that they are missing out on such an amazing experience. By fostering dogs, you get to fall in love on a continuous basis. Yes, the dog will wrap his/her paws around your heart very quickly. Dogs are very perceptive and know you are helping them. There are numerous reasons why dogs end up in shelters. No matter the reason they find themselves homeless, the important thing is someone is there to help them through the transition. Someone is willing to open their heart and home to help a pet in need and the dogs are so grateful. Fostering is so important because the foster parent can learn the personality and individual needs of the dog. Sometimes they need help with socialization or basic training. By learning how the dogs are in different situations such as, meeting new people, being around other dogs or cats, traveling in a car, etc., we can find a Forever Home that is a good fit. When a potential adopter wants to meet the dog, the foster is able to spend time with them and provide all the information they have. The foster also has the ability to make the decision if it is a good fit or not. EARS is dedicated to placing our dogs in the best possible home. Whether a foster is in your home for a week, a month, or longer, the love you shared will forever be in your heart. When you find the perfect home for your foster, your heart is overflowing with joy because you were blessed to be a part of helping a dog find his/her Forever Family. You may leave with tears in your eyes, but they are truly tears of joy. It is hard to explain the overwhelming feeling. And, before you know it you will have a new foster to love. Fostering truly saves lives. Become a Life Saver and open your heart and home to help a dog in need. EARS provides everything you need. You provided the home and the love.
