WE HAVE A GOAL OF NO EUTHANASIA OF TREATABLE REHABILITABLE ANIMALS AND CONTINUE WITH OUR EFFORT TO REDUCE OUR EUTHANASIA RATE. OUR FOSTER CARE PROGRAM IS CRITICAL TO OUR LIFE SAVING EFFORTS. FOSTER HOMES FILLED THE GAP BETWEEN THE TIME AN ANIMAL IS BROUGHT TO THE SOCIETY AND THE TIME THEY ARE ADOPTED. 1,018 ANIMALS WENT THROUGH OUR FOSTER CARE PROGRAM IN 2020. IN IT'S FIRST FULL YEAR, BOOK BUDDIES SPENT 218 HOURS VOLUNTEERING THEIR TIME TO REST TO SHELTER ANIMALS. NOT ONLY DOES THE PROGRAM HELP KIDS IMPROVE THEIR READING SKILLS AND CONFIDENCE WITH READING OUT LOUD, IT DOES WONDERS TO SOOTHE THE SHELTER PETS. A WIN-WIN
