Tubby Tabby Rescue
What do I need to foster?
All you need is love and a space for foster pets that is separate from other pets in the home! This can be an empty room or even a guest bathroom!​

According to the ASPCA statistics, Approximately 6.3 million companion animals enter U.S. animal shelters nationwide every year. Of those, approximately 3.1 million are dogs and 3.2 million are cats. We estimate that the number of dogs and cats entering U.S. shelters annually has declined from approximately 7.2 million in 2011. The biggest decline was in dogs (from 3.9 million to 3.1 million).
