Question 1

Is there a chance I can be "stuck" with a foster cat or dog?"

Accepted Answer

No. If for any reason you no longer wish to participate in the foster program, Animal Outreach will retrieve the animal from you within 48 hours.

Question 2

I have heard that rescue organizations make it hard to adopt. Is that true?

Accepted Answer

Rescue organizations are typically run by volunteers. Some adopters who are looking for immediate service may feel frustrated by the screening process, but rescue organizations exist to protect the animals. Thus, vet checks and home visits have become a necessary part of the process. Animal Outreach makes every attempt to streamline the process, but animals cannot be adopted on the spot, as most veterinary offices are not open on weekends and references cannot be checked. However, we will contact references as soon as possible so that your new family member can go home with you.
