Goal: 100 New Foster Homes in 100 Days
#MesaCountyFostersPets
We challenge you to open your heart and home to a foster pet during this time of need. To get started as a foster family and welcome a shelter pet into the safety and comfort of your home, learn more and sign up at RHhumanesociety.org/foster!
To kick off the challenge, both Roice-Hurst Humane Society and Mesa County Animal Services are offering $50 adoption fees for all pets today through Sunday, June 19!
“Fostering a dog or cat means volunteering to provide short-term care to a shelter pet in your home,” Anna Stout, CEO of Roice-Hurst Humane Society, said. “When you foster an animal, you’re helping two pets: the one you bring into your home and the one we can now bring into the shelter due to that space opening up.”
“The walls of our shelters are as big as the community of supporters who surround us,” Janet Rowland, Mesa County Commissioner, said. “Support through fostering makes a tangible impact on the lives of many homeless pets and gives the foster the additional benefit of the company of a new companion for a little while.”
