Animal Welfare Professionals

Ooh, we love not having to reinvent the wheel. Have we got resources for you -- already shared by forum members! We have four folders in the  forum's resource library with all kinds of examples that may help! 

• Foster
• Foster Manuals - Dog or Cat 
• Foster Manuals - Dog
• Foster Manuals - Cat

And of course, if anyone has others they'd like to share, please attach them on this thread and we'll add them to the library folders!

Thanks for the resources! I've looked through the library and, while I did find some useful info for other areas I'm looking to improve in my program, all I really saw were full-blown manuals for foster parents, which we already have. I'm looking more for a short "quick reference" guide that has the super basic information in an easy-to-access, short booklet that we can hand fosters (which would have QR codes to access our larger, more in-depth manuals).  Any thoughts on something like that? Did I possibly miss something that could be helpful in the resources library?

Hi Evie

Mine isn't ready to share yet, but I'm also working on a quick guide for fostering kittens. I looked at those resources Kim linked in February, but there is no way that our tiny pool of fosters would read one of those long manuals, especially as many don't have English as their first language. We are a small org in Europe but I think it will be of use to others. I'll try and remember to let you know when I get it done.

Hello,

I have attached a copy of the foster packet we use at the Friends of the Manchester Animal Shelter in NH. It was created a few years ago. I hope some of this is helpful.
