Episode 7
Most animal shelters and rescues depend heavily upon volunteer foster parents to help rehabilitate an animal recovering from surgery or dealing with behavior issues. When the shelter is at capacity, they might reach out to fosters to take in an animal or two to help make room for incoming animals. In all cases, the foster length of stay is usually a month or less, but there are exceptions like "failed fosters," who fall in love with their foster animal and adopt the animal as a new pet for their family. Shelters love this outcome, but it is not the intention of a foster program.
