If you are going to foster you need some space where the foster animals can be separate from your own pets. One rescue place that I volunteered for would quarantine the animals for 2 weeks before going to your house but as I found out that doesn't always work. The animal is moved to a new environment and stressed and the illness appears after the move. I am not trying to discourage anyone from rescue work but there are lots of things to think about. I had to give it up for my own pets. |
