Our foster caregivers are an incredibly important part of our mission at the Atlanta Humane Society. They provide temporary care for cats, kittens, dogs and puppies in their own homes. Whether they care for a foster animal for just a few weeks or for a longer term, our foster caregivers change the lives of animals in need. Below are a few testimonials to showcase the impact that fostering has on not only the animals, but also on the foster caregivers.
“Fostering is one of the most rewarding experiences I’ve had as a volunteer with the Atlanta Humane Society. There is something so special about taking in a foster and seeing him or her grow and thrive. Better yet is seeing them get placed with an amazing family.” – Katie G.
“I am so passionate about animals, but I felt like I wasn’t using that passion to help anything. Fostering directly helps save lives, and you can feel the good you’re doing.” – Sara P.
“Fostering has brought my family so much joy. It has deepened our empathy and is something we enjoy doing together. My kids love going with me to pick up our new fosters. Our fosters fill our hearts and fill our home.” – Katy W.
“Fostering means the chance to extend your home, time, and love to animals who need help.” – Heather F.
“Fostering is a way to ‘pay it forward’ for the animals, people, and society in general. I enjoy helping the animals grow and learn.” – Starr Z.
“Fostering is my happy place. I can’t imagine my life without the fosters that I have been lucky enough to have been placed in my care. I still love them all and would recommend fostering to all who are interested. It is the best!” – Pat K.
