The animal rescue service is revamping its fostering programme to create more ways for people to help vulnerable animals, including respite foster breaks for long-term shelter animals. This initiative provides animals with a calm space to decompress and regain confidence. The programme also encourages short-term fostering options for other vulnerable animals not ready for adoption, catering to individuals wanting to help without long-term commitments. The DSPCA emphasizes that fostering is vital in preparing pets for adoption and increasing their chances of finding families, especially for those with medical needs.
"Fostering is a crucial function of our shelter operations and serves as a bridge to adoption, helping pets adjust to home life and increasing their chances of finding a family of their own."
"This part of the DPSCA's fostering programme, supported by Lottoland, is set to open doors for more people across Ireland to get involved in an accessible way."
