Thank you for coming to the webcast today! I'll post the recording shortly. Here are the remaining questions from attendees:
- Is food budgeted for? (sent by NancyKate)
- How do you handle potential fosters who won't commit because they are afraid they will "get attached?" (Cherlene)
- is the Pet sitters volunteers or paid staff (Kim)

On Thursday, July 3, 2025, join Maddie's® Monthly Foster Connection at 12pm PT/3pm ET. Daisy Navin, Foster Programs Manager at LifeLine Animal Project, will be discussing how she solicited and used feedback from fosters to make improvements to one of the largest foster programs in the country.
Register for the session so that you can receive notifications about upcoming webcasts and participate in discussions after the webcast.
Webcast Description:
When fosters speak up, we sometimes default to extremes: either it's just "one unhappy person," or it's a sign the whole program is broken beyond repair. But the truth about how fosters experience your program lives in the gaps between assumptions and reality. In this talk, we'll explore how LifeLine Animal Project developed, launched, and analyzed a foster experience survey to uncover hidden trends, validate unspoken concerns, and turn raw feedback into rapid, strategic improvements. Whether you lead a large shelter or a volunteer-based rescue program, the lessons behind the data can help you strengthen your foundation, one honest answer at a time.
Daisy Navin is the Foster Programs Manager at LifeLine Animal Project, where she oversees foster program development strategy across three Atlanta shelters, including two high-intake municipal facilities. She helped grow LifeLine's foster program into one of the largest in the country, which placed over 13,000 animals into foster homes 2024. Daisy is passionate about low-barrier fostering, matchmaking, foster relations, and turning everyday insights into meaningful change. She's presented with Maddie's Fund on foster onboarding and loves collaborating with other shelters to troubleshoot, innovate, and share life-saving ideas. Her work focuses around one question: what do fosters need to keep saying yes?
