"Foster volunteers" refers to individuals who willingly and temporarily care for animals or children in need of a safe and nurturing environment, usually until a permanent home is found for them. Full definition
Our network of foster volunteers allows us to provide specialized care to more animals in need while also opening space at the shelter for more homeless pets. (toledohumane.org)
Our staff provides foster volunteers with direction on what care is needed for each individual animal and an estimate of how long the animal will be in their homes. (anticruelty.org)
