On this episode of Stephanie’s Shelter Stories, Rachel Crowell from Norfolk Animal Care Center, Jordan Wallace from 757 Adoptable Dogs, and Frankie’s Friends Animal Rescue join me to share why fostering is so important to local shelters and rescues.
Learn how to get involved, how to introduce foster pets to children and other animals, and what supplies foster families receive. (Spoiler alert: Fostering is FREE!)
There are so many opportunities to make a difference this holiday season. We’ll also talk about volunteering, donating, and advocating for local shelters and rescues.
Take a listen and find more resources below on how you can help local animals in need.

Advocate
Sharing animal shelter and rescue posts on social media is one of the easiest, most impactful ways to help animals in need. When you amplify a post, you put a vulnerable animal in front of a much larger network of potential adopters, fosters, and rescuers
