A Day in the Life of a Stray Rescue
Dog
You're walking down the street. Tired, alone and hurting, you look
up and see a man whom you're not sure if you should trust [or not].
He reaches out his hand to help you, and because you can't take
much more, you let him. The man brings you to the doctor's office
e where you are cleaned up and taken care of. You decide to trust
the man. He introduces you to a loving family who wants to care
for you. At first you do not know how to react, although the family
is kind, loving and helps you whenever you need it. Finally, you
find that you can relax and be yourself in this home. You know that
these people are good, honest and would never put you through the
pain you had experienced in the past. These people have taught you
to trust humans once again. These humans are your foster parents
and they are some of Stray Rescue's best friends. |

All About Fostering
Many people have given of their time to house a pet in transition.
Fostering is not a permanent commitment, but it sure does help out
the victims of animal abuse. Because of the large number of homeless
animals that Stray Rescue is currently attempting to help, many
foster parents are needed to further the organization's cause. Some
of our current foster parents house two, three or even four dogs
at a time. However, the gift of helping out even one animal is a
wonderful gift to the organization. |

Rehabilitating an Abused Animal
After suffering, dogs and cats are typically scared, shy and at
times even aggressive. The foster parent's responsibility is to
help the animal find out what living with a loving family is really
like. Once proper adoptive parents are found and the animal has
been rehabilitated and re-socialized, the foster parent's job is
done, and the animal is placed in its permanent home. Without foster
parents, Stray Rescue could not operate. These people are truly
the heroes in the fight against animal abuse. |
