In this week’s episode, the foster crisis in Hampton Roads takes center stage. I sit down with Norfolk Animal Care Center, which urgently needs foster homes as the shelter undergoes construction, and Chesapeake Humane Society, which explains its unique need for fosters through its Crisis Boarding program. I also speak with two dedicated local volunteers, one who has fostered more than 50 dogs and another who created a special room just for fostering cats. Discover how fostering saves lives — and how you can help.
Foster links and information:

Norfolk Animal Care Center urgently needs foster homes between December 1st and 15th, when construction is scheduled at the shelter, and the goal is to have as few dogs in the building as possible.
Email fosternacc@norfolk.gov right away to schedule your pickup.
Check with your local shelter or rescue to ask about their foster program. Every home that opens its doors makes a life-saving difference.
