Why Foster?

The easy answer is that it saves lives. Shelters can only house so many animals and are forced to make heartbreaking decisions when they are at capacity. Additionally, many animals do not fare well in a shelter environment and hence, do not show well for potential adopters.  One Love takes animals from overcrowded shelters and moves them into foster homes where the animal can adjust to a loving home environment before finding it’s forever home.   

Foster homes are crucial to One Love Animal Rescue Group’s ability to continue saving the lives of animals in need. One of our volunteers explains that every time she fosters, she’s actually saving three lives – the animal that was just adopted from her care, the animal that she can now “pull” from an overcrowded shelter, and the animal that needs a spot in the shelter.

One Love Animal Rescue Group is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization comprised of a network of foster homes and dedicated volunteers.  All of our foster homes undergo a similar qualification process as our adoption applicants. The process includes a phone interview, veterinary reference check, two personal reference checks, a landlord check (if applicable), and a home visit.
