Becoming a foster parent for a homeless animal

The Humane Society at Lakewood Ranch is in need of foster families. They are overwhelmed, as most rescues are, which a need to save more animals and simply do not have the room or the volunteers.
Being a foster family can have many rewards including the knowledge you have saved an animal from certain death simply because there is no room available.
Rescues provide food and medical care for their fosters and families reap the benefits of socializing and training a dog or cat so they can find a forever home.
I have a friend who loved big dogs but could not afford to have a pet. He fostered two beautiful rottweilers until they had been through heartworm treatment. He still asks how Griffen and Ivey are doing and loved the fact they greeted him every night when he came home. He was a single man and still loved what he could do for these dogs.
If you want to investigate the possibility of become a foster parent, please contact the Humane Society at Lakewood Ranch or a rescue in your area. The rewards are great and you can't beat the companionship.
