Foster "Can we crash at your house?"
Would you like to adopt an animal but are afraid of a long-term commitment? Do you have a soft spot in your heart for animals most in need of help? Would you like to experience one of the most rewarding programs Paws has to offer? Consider fostering!
Fostering means providing a temporary home for an animal while it is preparing for its forever. It is less permanent than adoption and is a convenient way to give to the shelter without the time commitment of volunteering. Foster homes are needed because some animals need extra help before they can be adopted. These animals may have special medical needs, require socialization, or need care that can better be provided in a home environment instead of the shelter.
Foster programs are integral parts of successful shelters. Fostering is not only beneficial for the animals and the shelter. It is also very rewarding for foster parents and makes it easier for animals to find forever homes. Foster mom June Chamberlin says, “Nothing is more rewarding than knowing you've been a part of saving a little life that might not have had a chance to survive.” Paws is in need of foster homes! If you are interested in becoming a foster parent, contact Paws at 706-782-5422 or email mollykeaton@gmail.com.
We have an overflow of animals! WE NEED YOU TO ADOPT!
Due to an increase in population and animal intakes, Rabun Paws 4 Life is currently unable to accept and animals (cats/dogs). We will still be caring for Animal Control needs and accepting animals on the Wait List as space opens. Please provide your name, number and animal photo/description and we will be glad to post your animal for adoption on our website. We appreciate the community's understanding during this time.
