In this one-hour webcast, you’ll learn how to create a culture of fostering in your community and discover several strategies for placing more pets in foster (hint: recruitment is just one of them!). You’ll learn what the latest market research says about messaging and techniques that can turn potential fosters into applicants, how short-term foster programs can help you find the fosters and adopters you need, and how organizations with the most robust foster programs are building their foster base.
