Thinking about helping a furry friend?

Even if you can’t adopt a pet, you can still open your home to one

Live in the D – Sometimes you want to have a pet, but do not have the time to give an animal the long term commitment it deserves.

Anna Chrisman from Michigan Humane tells “Live In The D” host Tati Amare and guest host Jon Jordan that fostering is the perfect way to have a furry friend but without the long-term commitment.

Some pets in the shelter would benefit from being in a loving foster home during recovery from injury or illness before adoption. One of these pets who would’ve benefited is our Pet of the Week Dunkaroo. He had a fracture in his femur and had to have a pin put in. He recovered in the shelter, but Chrisman explained, “the stress of the shelter. There is so much going on it’s like being in the hospital.”

Any pet can be fostered such as dogs, cats, rabbits, and lizards and the shelter will provide food, medicine, toys, mats, and crates. All you have to provide is love.

Dunkaroo’s adoption fees are sponsored by the Mike Morse Law Firm, but to see more of his sweet and cuddly personality, check out the video above.
