The San Antonio Animal Care Services (SAACS) is dealing with a furry situation — an influx of animals that need some TLC before they find their permanent homes. The call has been put out for temporary pet parents who can step up and help these pets transition from shelter life to domestic bliss. SAACS provides the training; the community provides the love.
According to a recent press release published yesterday, the "Sit. Stay. Learn." series is making a return with additional courses aimed at would-be pet fosters. Covering the ins and outs of what it's like to take a shelter animal under your wing, the SAACS foster program sweetens the deal by throwing in free food and supplies. This learning opportunity is strictly a "people only" affair — meaning, leave your furry friends at home while absorbing all there is to know about welcoming new ones.
The upcoming Animal Care Foster Orientation will brief attendees on the types of pets that are in dire need of a temporary home and prepare them for the task. Those who are interested in becoming pet foster parents and want to get a sneak peek into the fostering lifestyle can reach out to SAACS at [email protected] to sign up or gather further details on the program and orientation courses.
