Foster homes needed

People who enjoy animals but do not wish to make a commitment to adopt a pet permanently are sought to provide temporary foster homes for a rescued pet.

Strays does not operate a shelter; all animals are kept in private foster homes until adopted. All expenses are paid by Strays.

For details on fostering, call Strays at (630) 351-3150.
