THE BENEFITS OF BECOMING A PET FOSTER CARER:
1. FOR THE CARER: research confirms the many benefits to you when you care for a pet. Examples include less reliance on prescription drugs, fewer visits to the doctor, a healthier frame of mind, a more optimistic outlook on life, lower blood pressure, and an increased life expectancy.
2. FOR THE PET: hundreds of healthy dogs and cats with a friendly nature and sound temperament are being euthanased EVERY DAY in Australia simply because they are homeless. You will save one of these little ones and give it another chance at health and happiness.
3. FOR US: another pet saved from unnecessary euthanasia and given the chance of becoming a happy companion to a new owner.
