Foster programs are a necessity in any animal shelter or rescue but creating and maintaining one that provides consistent positive output can be a challenge. Foster homes reduce in-shelter population, reduce stress on staff and animals, and provide much needed real-life information about adoptable animals. The challenge is creating a foster base that will consistently help with the animals your shelter needs help with; the medically challenged and/or behaviorally challenged population. What you will learn:

How to break down your foster program and rebuild it for success
The benefits of opening your foster program up to include all adoptable animals in your shelter and why that variety will help you sustain your program
How to streamline communication with foster parents

Other Webinars in this Series Include:

Dec 10: Recruiting the Next Generation to Your Agency
April 8: Staycations and Daycations – Building Short Term Foster Programs
July 8: Building and Maintaining a Productive, High Volume Fostering Program
July 22: The Care, Nurturing and Enrichment of Tame & Feral Volunteers

We believe only carefully selected and properly trained animal control personnel can correct community problems resulting from irresponsible animal ownership. NACA’s purpose is to preserve the Human/Animal Bond by insisting on responsible animal ownership.
