Foster A Homeless Pet With Nevada Spca

Tuesday, July 18, 10 a.m.

Learn about the rewarding and fulfilling experience of fostering dogs, cats, puppies and kittens while helping a pet in need. Fostering helps reduce overcrowding in shelters and opens up space for another pet to be saved. When you foster a pet, you are giving them an opportunity to live in a home where they can fully express their personalities and decompress, work to overcome fears, recuperate from medical procedures and help Nevada SPCA get to know the pet better to find them the best adoptive home.

"Fostering has taught me patience, resilience, and unconditional love. It has shown me the true value of second chances and the importance of making a positive impact in the world no matter how small it may seem to others. Through fostering, I have been able to witness the transformation of scared, neglected animals into happy, healthy pets that are ready for their forever homes. Knowing that I've helped an animal find their place in the world is the greatest gift I have ever received. It is a rewarding and fulfilling experience that I will continue to pursue for as long as I can.”Nevada SPCA Foster Parent Michelle Cortez

Listen to Lori Heeren, Nevada SPCA Executive Director, and Corina Pimental, Nevada SPCA Foster Coordinator, talk about how you can make a difference in your life and the life of a homeless pet through fostering.
