Ever wonder if you could be a foster hero?
Fostering isn’t just about temporarily housing an animal - it’s about giving them a second chance. But it’s also one of the most rewarding ways to make a difference, even if you’re not ready for a permanent pet.

In this inspiring episode, Amy Castro sits down with animal advocate Nora Burns to explore the life-saving power of pet fostering and why it’s easier (and more fulfilling) than you might think.

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL DISCOVER:

• How fostering helps rescue organizations save more lives
• What to expect as a first-time foster—and how to get started
• Why fostering changes the lives of animals and the people who take them in

If you’ve ever said “I’d love to help, but I can’t adopt,” this episode will show you a whole new way to open your heart—and your home.
