COLUMBUS PET RESCUE

FOSTER APPLICATION

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 a
month 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!
