Bossier City Welcomes “Home for the Howl-idays” Program
Hey there, folks in Bossier City! 🎉 As the festive season rolls in, there’s an exciting new program that’s sure to warm your hearts and give some lovely animals a taste of home. If you’re someone who loves pets but isn’t quite ready to commit to full-time pet ownership, then Bossier City has just the thing for you: the “Home for the Howl-idays” holiday fostering program!
What Exactly Is a Holiday Foster?
Great question! A holiday foster is simply a person or family that welcomes an adorable animal into their home for the holidays. This means cozy cuddles, wagging tails, and a chance to enjoy the joy of having a pet around without the long-term commitment. The best part? You can choose your furry companion from the Bossier City Animal Control, and you can even host more than one if your heart can handle it! 🐶❤️
What’s Included in the Fostering Program?
You might be wondering what you get when you take home a furry friend for the holiday season. Worry not! Bossier City is all about making this experience as smooth as possible. They provide everything you need to help your new buddy feel right at home. This includes:
- Food: No need to worry about feeding – it’s all included!
- Collar and Leash: Get ready for some fun walks!
- Toy: Every pet deserves a toy to play with!
- Crate or Comfy Bed: If you need it, they can help with that too.
When Can You Start the Fostering Fun?
Mark your calendars, folks! You can pick up your holiday foster on Wednesday, November 27th, between 12:00 PM and 4:00 PM. After a week of love and fun, it will be time to return your furry friend on December 2nd between 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM. Remember, a crate and bedding need to be brought back too, so keep that in mind!
What Happens If You Fall in Love?
Why Holiday Fostering Is So Important
You might be wondering how this experience helps. Well, holiday fostering provides immense benefits for both the adorable animals at the shelter and the dedicated staff. For the animals, it’s a much-needed break from their kennels, allowing them to stretch their legs and enjoy a loving home environment. Plus, for shelter staff, it gives them some extra time to spend with their own families during this busy season.
Wrap It Up with Love
So, why not take the plunge and consider becoming a holiday foster this year? You’ll be helping out animals in need and experiencing the joy that comes with having a furry companion at home. Whether you’re a family of one, two, or more, everyone can join in on the fun!
Bossier City is offering a unique and heartwarming opportunity that benefits both furry friends looking for homes and humans who are ready to spread a little holiday cheer. Go ahead and make the season brighter for those adorable pets and for yourself!
