Introducing Why We Foster: The New Podcast from Foster Dogs!

On this new podcast from Foster Dogs Inc. and NYC Pet Photographer, you’ll hear stories from animal rescuers and fosters all over the country. We’ll discuss the emotional rollercoaster of the foster experience, the revolving door of pets, and the rapidly-changing role of fostering and animal rescue within human society.

Our very first episode will premier at the end of April 2021 and we’re diving right in with the number one reason why people don’t foster:
Saying goodbye when your foster pet gets adopted.


But first… we want to hear from you!

If you foster pets, how do you celebrate or commemorate each adoption from your home?

If you’re new to this community and curious about fostering, how do you feel about that moment of goodbye?

Share your story and we’ll feature our favorites as we prepare to launch the show. Use #whywefoster on Instagram, tag us on all the socials, or send us some audio. Who knows, you might even hear your story on the first episode of Why We Foster!
