Have you been a foster family for PBSOC in the past, or are you currently fostering for us? Do you have a foster experience story you’d like to share? One that might even help another family who’s trying to decide if fostering is right for them?
If so, we’d love to hear from you. We want to share your story too on Facebook and here on our website, so that our readers can understand what fostering is like–the ups, the downs, and ultimately the incredible reward of making a difference in the life of a dog and its future family–a reward that’s unlike any other experience.
Please fill out the following questionnaire and return it to us at pbsocbios@gmail.com. You can simply copy the text below and paste it into an email with your responses. We will edit and turn your responses into an article for our Facebook page and our permanent content on this website.
