At LHS, “It takes a village” is a phrase that rings true for our foster program, and why we emphasize our foster community so much! Lifesaving animal shelter work and foster care are not easy; we know it can take a huge toll physically, mentally, and emotionally. Many of us have gone through similar journeys and want to share the victories and the losses with each other. Our foster families are not alone in this journey, we want them to reach out and ask for help and feel supported by staff and fellow fosters. By sharing a load of foster care, sharing our foster stories in an active online community, and strengthening each other through continued learning, together, we’ve made a lifesaving impact. In 2021, for every pet placed in foster homes, we had 1.6 foster placements, meaning a large portion of these pets had more than one foster family caring for them!
