The event is not only a great opportunity to potentially find a new furry family member but also a chance to learn about the vital role that foster programs play in the community. The FWACC foster program has been instrumental in saving the lives of hundreds of animals over the past year. By fostering an animal, individuals help free up space in the shelter, which can then accommodate other pets in need. Additionally, fostering helps prepare animals for transition to permanent homes or other rescue organizations, significantly boosting their chances of finding a forever family.

For those who may not be ready to adopt, fostering is a rewarding alternative that offers a temporary home to pets in need while also making a measurable impact on the broader efforts of animal rescue and care. Each pet fostered is a step towards saving more lives, as it opens up resources and space for other animals in distress.
