Columbus Pet Rescue Foster Agreement

"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever does" - Margaret Mead.

Fostering can be a rewarding and beneficial way to help animals on a temporary basis, providing them with a loving, supportive environment as we move them towards adoption. With the supervision of our veterinary care services and other volunteers, we are committed to ensuring optimal health and growth of animals for an easier transition into an adoptable, permanent situation. Each individual animal may pose unique challenges with training and health concerns but once those challenges and concerns are met, that animal is one step closer to permanent placement in a loving forever home. If you are willing to open your heart and your home to help support these animals during this temporary transition process, the rewards can be priceless. Some fosters are needed for as little as 48 hours or up to several months at a time. We are open to discussing all scenarios and are grateful for the support you are able to provide. We will assist with supplies, medications, and provide the expertise of many long-time volunteers to ensure a successful healing environment. We love our fosters and support them. Sign up today, so many animals need your help!
