"The holidays are a time of love, celebration, families, and togetherness, and so there's no better time to invite a foster dog or cat into your home than now," officials said. "Fostering is a wonderful way to help the shelter by making space for new pets in need of the shelter's help, and it's an activity that the whole family can participate in – giving back to the community through fostering is a gift for all, not the least of which is the dog or cat being fostered." Want to participate in the foster program? Here's how it works.First, you sign up to become a foster for the shelter – go to Wilco's How to Help and fill out the linked Foster Application. Then you make an appointment to come pick out the medium to large adult dog or adult cat to take home as your "Home for The Holidays" foster pet! Fosters can choose to adopt their foster pet if it turns out that the match is the perfect fit. Otherwise, you bring the dog or cat back to the shelter once the holidays are over.
