All of these animals would make wonderful, loving pets, but they just don’t show well in the shelter next to cute fluffy speckled puppies or fuzzy, playful kittens. Happy Hearts fosters could be little black puppies, or the awkward, long legged 9 month old shepherd mix, or maybe the tubby tortoiseshell cat that hides in the corner. Happy Hearts is designed for pets that are healthy and adoptable, but just get overlooked.Almost any animal in the shelter would benefit from foster care, and we have programs for all of them. “Unleash their Hope” has three distinct categories. Fostering not only saves the life of the animal which is placed in a foster home, but also the one that can take his or her empty cage. We work very hard to find new homes for our animals for adoption and rescue, but the numbers being adopted or rescued never exceed (or even come close to meeting!) the number we receive. We recognized the need for a foster program as we continued to watch our numbers of incoming animals climb while our number of cages clearly remains static! Our goal is to end the euthanasia (putting to sleep) of any animal for space but we cannot do it alone. Pets that are in foster care truly benefit from some “TLC” and get the added benefit of being “marketed” by their foster family to potential adopters! It also provides an option for animals that are in need of medical treatment that would be difficult to provide in the shelter environment. Fostering can open up spaces and cages in the shelter allowing us to help more animals. Your donation will go a long way in helping us keep this wonderful, life-saving program going.Ĭlick below to choose your Vintage Dog to sponsor.Welcome to AARC/Joplin Humane’s “UNLEASH THEIR HOPE” Foster Program!
