Fort Worth Animal Care & Control, in partnership with PetSmart Charities and Virginia Tech, is set to launch a Doggy Day Camp at the Hulen Everyday Adoption Center on Monday, May 6. This unique initiative will allow participants to bring their foster pups to the center while they are at work or running errands.
"Talk about a win-win for foster doggos and their hooman companions!" The camp will not only provide a temporary home for the foster pups but will also involve shelter staff in enrichment activities and promote the pets for adoption. If the foster dog is not adopted during the day, they will return to their family in the evening, ready for another day of potential adoption.
"During the pilot period, FWACC will team with PetSmart Charities and Virginia Tech to collect data to determine how hybrid fostering and traditional fostering will affect an animal's length of stay vs. not having a foster home at all." This data collection will help evaluate the effectiveness of this new approach to fostering.
If successful, the program is expected to expand to the Alliance Adoption Center in the fall. Those interested in this unique foster opportunity are encouraged to reach out for further details via email.
This initiative provides a wonderful opportunity for individuals in the Hulen area to participate in fostering and potentially provide a loving temporary home for shelter pets.
