HSLC seeks loving foster homes for homeless dogs and cats

[July 03, 2012]  Since the Humane Society of Logan County Shelter has been in operation, the number of foster families for animals has dwindled to almost none. Granted, most animals can be taken directly to the shelter and kept there until they are adopted. But, there are exceptions. Consequently, foster families are still very important.

HSLC needs foster families for:

• Cats with feline leukemia.

• Cats that are too stressed to reside in a shelter.

• Cats in danger of being euthanized.

• Cats that need a break from living with several other cats.

• Cats needing extra socialization.

HSLC needs foster families for:

• Dogs living at animal control.

• Dogs with special needs such as an injury, epilepsy, diabetes, etc.

• Dogs that need a break from living in a kennel.

• Dogs needing extra socialization.

• Dogs that need training.

The Humane Society of Logan County is asking people to consider providing a foster home. With the shelter in place, a foster home might be a short-term placement for an animal, but it is invaluable. Call Wanda Stevens at 217-648-2703 or 217-737-4042 to learn more about fostering. The HSLC needs you.
