foster pets

Animals awaiting adoption

Foster pets are animals temporarily housed and cared for by individuals or families until they can be permanently adopted.

Animal shelters and rescue organizations rely on foster arrangements to reduce overcrowding and give animals—especially those too young, sick, or stressed for shelter life—a better environment: We're fostering three kittens until they're old enough for adoption.

People who take in such animals are foster parents or fosters.
