Kelly's Foster Journey

Name:  Kelly

Started Fostering with SSR:  2022

Fosters:  Adults, puppies, sick pups

My crew:  2 goats, 3 chickens, 5 cats

Why do you foster?

I’m looking for a dog but haven’t found the right personality and energy for my crew and I.  Fostering helps save some awesome pups while keeping my animals around dogs for when we do find that special one.  I’ve found that while a dog might not be right for me, they will be right for someone else.  I encourage anyone looking for a dog to try fostering to help them find their next family member.

What would you tell adopters?

The first day/night will be the hardest.  They’ve known life with their foster for about 1-2 weeks and now have new people, homes, animals, and schedules to get used to.  Each day will be better and setting a schedule and boundaries will set the pup up for success.
