Fostering Process
Fostering has many benefits!
First, it’s one of the most valuable ways to support a rescue organization; foster homes are always in short supply, and every home we add to our system enables us to rescue another rabbit in need.
Second, fostering is a rewarding experience: fosterers get to share their day-to-day lives with these wonderful creatures, learn a lot about rabbit care, and enjoy rabbit companionship without incurring veterinary expenses.
Third, fostering allows for maximum flexibility: volunteers choose to foster if/when they’re on a strict budget, are planning to relocate in the near future, or aren’t 100% sure yet that they want to adopt.
At 5 Burrow, we offer a variety of fostering options, both short- and longer-term, and we can structure a fostering arrangement for you that fits your schedule.
