    Just had to post some cool ideas for you that I've seen recently!
    Great post from Harris County Pets that explains why pets need foster and addresses the most common reasons people are afraid to foster!
    This positive story about an adoptable dog that works fostering in:

    This emergency foster/adoption graphic from Fulton County Animal Services

    The first page of Riverside County Animal Shelter's website, which makes it clear fosters are needed and valued:

    Memphis Animal Services does a weekly live Instagram feed called Take Me Home Thursday that's helped them find foster caregivers for a number of pets! You can see an example at https://www.instagram.com/p/Cbfi48FqpF6/
