Ella's Story
Type of Foster Home:
Ella is a 7-month-old, 37-pound dog looking for a loving foster home! She is a hesitant but sweet pup that needs a break from the shelter. Ella would thrive in a foster home that can provide structure and encouragement as she gains confidence and security. She would do best in a home with children aged 8 and up. She gets along well with other dogs and has no experience with cats. We suspect this young gal is in heart failure. A home for her to have a normal puppy life as much as possible would be wonderful for her.
How to Foster Ella:
New fosters can take the first step by learning about fostering and completing the Foster Care Application. Veteran foster parents can email foster@pawschicago.org to schedule a pickup appointment.
Ella is available for foster pick-up through our Medical Center at 3516 W. 26th St.
Why Foster?
There are many animals that need us today. Each foster family allow us to save more homeless pets by opening their home to a pet or litter in need of love and care for a few weeks. When we are able to send a pet or litter to foster, it frees up space in our Medical Center to bring in more pets in need.
Last year, our foster families took in 1,921 pets. Some needed a peaceful place to recover from illness or injury. Puppies and kittens just needed a bit of time in a home environment with good socialization so they could grow big enough to have their spay/neuter surgery before adoption. Other pets needed a calm and relaxing break from the stress of shelter life.
Consider joining them in lifesaving. Sign up to become a foster today.
