Foster To Adopt – Learn About The Successful Matchmaking Program At Randolph Regional Animal Shelter

Foster To Adopt - I've done it twice (both failed, both adopted by me lol) - It's Terrie Carr and the importance of fostering shelter animals is HUGE. What does fostering do? It helps shelter animals learn how to live in a home environment, and get out of the shelter which can be loud and scary, and gives us a fantastic insight into their behaviors OUT OF THE SHELTER- In the video below, my friend and Shelter Manager at Randolph Regional Animal Shelter in Mendham discusses their highly successful "Foster To Adopt" program and how it's helped both animals and humans to find their perfect match. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4EOIse3XpmA Sunny Discusses "Foster To Adopt" with me How Do I Know If An Animal Is A Good Match For Me? There are many things to consider. If you are out of the house most of the day, a puppy (no matter how cute) is not the best match. If you love to run, a dog with a high energy level and a love of the outdoors is way better. Do you love to be on the couch? Perhaps a senior or lower-energy pet is best. And of course when you fall in love with a particular shelter resident, and the connection is real, your new best friend may have been found! It's always a good experience to work with a shelter partner like Sunny, who can provide information and support, especially for first-time adopters. Also, your existing pet is a huge consideration as well. Rosie is the boss of my home and if someone else comes in and she doesn't; get along with them, she gets her way. Sometimes being a good match for your dog or cat is more important than being a good match for you! Adding a new best friend is a big decision and not one to be taken lightly, and working with a great local shelter group can be a wonderful experience. Thanks for the info, Sunny! Check out the amazing CHER this week too, who stopped by with Sunny and is available to foster and adopt at the shelter on this week's "Merry Pitmas" Rock N' Ruff" feature- (she's featured in the foster-to-adopt piece too, such a good, well-behaved girl) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pkUigFZT9yI Rock N' Ruff with Cher And all of our great adoptables on the Rock N' Ruff Page below!
