Do you want to help grow the Foster Movement, but are unable to foster pets? That's the case for more of us than you'd think! Maybe you aren’t home much and a pet just doesn’t work with your lifestyle right now. Perhaps you live in a place that doesn't allow pets or someone in your family has allergies. Or like many of us, you might have a special pet who needs to be an only child. You may not be able to foster a pet right now or ever… but that doesn't mean you can't help animals in need and support the foster community!

Learn how you can foster the Foster Movement without taking home a furry friend of your own. Hear from volunteers in a variety of roles with organizations all over the country about what they bring to the table and why they love the animal welfare community so much.
