Foster homes needed for dogs at Montgomery County Animal Resource Center

DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) – The Montgomery County Animal Resource Center (ARC) is asking for community members to open their hearts and homes to dogs in need. June is Foster Pet Month. Fostering is a short-term commitment that has a lifelong impact on an animal. The ARC takes care of hundreds of dogs annually – some for medical recovery, shelter breaks. Clark County Dog Shelter full; pleading for adoptions Fostering helps the shelter by reducing overcrowding and giving vital insight into a dog's personality in a home setting. 'When you foster, you're giving an animal their best chance at a forever home,' said Amy Bohardt, Director of the Animal Resource Center. 'Fosters are the bridge between homelessness and hope. We're so grateful for every person who steps up to make a difference.' When a person decides to foster, they are provided with all essential supplies, including food, leashes, creates and medical supplies (if needed). They can chose a dog and timeframe which best fits their life-style. Shamrock shakes raise $28k for Dayton Ronald McDonald House 'I have had the privilege of opening my home to dogs of all different breeds, ages and backgrounds since becoming a foster for ARC,' said foster caregiver Samantha Baudendistel. 'It brings me so much joy to know that I got to play a part in each dog's story. And through each dog, I have also played a part in the story of each family who has adopted them, and all it took was a little bit of patience and a whole lot of love.'
