Fostering
an animal can ABSOLUTELY save a life! Furry Friends
Network has no shelter and is reliant upon a
fostering network to provide temporary homes
for our animals. Our animals are kept in foster
homes until they are placed in permanent happy
homes of their own. Currently, we have very limited
foster resources, and
as a result we often have to turn animals in
need away because there is no one to foster them.
Foster homes provide the love and shelter while Furry Friends Network
pays for the food, and all medical expenses. A foster home is invaluable,
because the foster parent gains insight to the animal's personality
to help us better match them with the perfect home. The foster parent
needs to be able to transport the animal (as applicable) to and from
vet appointments and our pet adoptions held on the weekends.
The average time an animal is usually fostered is several weeks; however,
it could be as little as a few days or as much as a few months. Although
we prefer the animal remain in one foster home until it finds a permanent
home, we realize this is not always possible. Foster parents have the
right to discontinue fostering at any time for any reason. So whether
you can foster for a couple of days, weeks or months your services
can be useful!
If
you think you might be interested in becoming a foster home, please
fill out one of the above Foster Forms. If you have any additional
questions you may contact us at ffnfoster@yahoo.com or
stop by on our pet adoption days - we'd be happy to discuss it with
you!

I
greet each day inside my cage
And wait for God to write my page.
I wonder if you'll come today,
And let me feel the light of day?
My whole life has been dark with pain.
And those who caused it -- what did they gain?
They stole my trust, my livelihood,
And all because thy simply could.
I yearn to run though scented fields
Without a cage and lock to yield.
To chase a squirrel that can't be caught;
To earn a love that can't be bought.
But the darkest days have a light
In the quiet mornings that follow night.
You come to visit every day
Without a motive, without pay.
You carried me when I was weak,
Brought trust I was too pained to seek.
You healed my wounds that took their toll --
You rescued my slowly dying soul.
And now I listen for your voice,
Knowing that you're here by choice.
You didn't know me at the start,
And yet I'm planted in your heart.
I'm learning to accept your praise
And not avert my fearful gaze.
Forgive me if I cower still;
My life has been against my will.
I feel that you are growing tired
Within this fight that you've been mired.
If you can keep your doubts at bay,
It would mean the world if you could stay.
I can't predict how this will end,
But I know this of you, my friend --
You selflessly all played your part;
You saved me with your tender heart! |
