Social media can be a powerful tool for getting your foster pet adopted once they’re ready to look for a new home! Whichever platform you use, share why you are a PAWS Chicago foster with your family and friends, and spread the word about homeless animals while working toward finding your foster a permanent home.

And don’t forget to join the PAWS Chicago Fosters group on Facebook! It’s a great resource to connect with fellow fosters and PAWS Chicago staff for advice and lots of feel-good foster pet updates.

See below for examples of how to feature your foster on social media:
