Foster homes provide much needed love, care and companionship
for Boston's needing new, permanent homes.

Not only will you be helping a pet in need by providing a happy, safe, temporary home, but also the health benefits are outstanding. In fact, pets may help owners live longer, healthy, and more enjoyable lives. Studies have show that when people pet animals, their blood pressure, heart rate, and temperature decrease. Simply getting up to let a dog out a few times a day, or playing fetch, can benefit the cardio vascular system and help keep joints limber and flexible.

Pets are an excellent source of companionship. They act as a support system for adults that don't have any family or close friends nearby. For the sports enthusiast a dog can be a great partner.
