Take a Chance This Fall and Fall into Fostering!   How did I get into fostering?   I work in the public school system and for many years I was getting cats and kittens to rehome that were dropped off at the school or feral cats that were pregnant and then needed help to have a safe place to survive the blistering climate of our very own dazzling, dynamic and sometimes deadly desert. The staff always wanted to adopt them, shout out to all people in education…you really do care about all life.   I followed Anthem Pets for many years on various New River, Desert-Hills and Anthem sites.

I have fostered pets on and off for 15 years, and for Anthem Pets for the last 3 years. I got started by reaching out to the shelter in my hometown and began taking dogs for walks, on outings, and for the weekend. When I moved to Arizona, I found that there are so many rescues and shelters that need fosters: some help just dogs, others just cats, and many do both and even exotics.   I’ve fostered so many different breeds of dogs including Chihuahuas, Pit Bulls, Mastiffs, Husky mixes, and certified Mutts.

I currently have 7 foster animals, plus our 3 barn kitties, 9
