The Animal Rescue League of Berks County announced it is accepting applications from those willing to be short-term “Home for the Holidays” foster families.
“A shelter can be a very stressful environment for an animal, especially during this season,” Tatiana Foronda, the ARL’s pet placement manager, said in a statement released Monday. “This program is a great opportunity for families that would like to help a pet but don’t have the time for a long-term commitment to do so and it’s a lovely way to do something small yet so important for a shelter animal.”
A selection of the adoptable pets at the shelter, 58 Kennel Road, Cumru Township, will be available for pickup Dec. 23 or Dec. 24 and return on Jan. 2.
“After applying at www.berksarl.org, families will be qualified by the pet placement team and matched with a pet,” the statement said. “The team will contact accepted families during the week of Dec.19 and a pet placement specialist will ensure the foster pet is a good match for their family and other pets in their home.
“All foster pets will go home with a ‘suitcase’ packed with supplies, food and further instructions on how to ensure a successful and joyful foster experience. If for some reason the family decides that the pet they were matched with isn’t a good fit for their home, they can return their foster pet, while also receiving support from the ARL foster team.”
Applications will be accepted for this program through Dec. 21. For more information, visit the ARL website or call 610-373-8830.
