The easy answer is that it saves lives. Shelters can only hold so many animals. We all know the tragic result when they are at capacity. Rescues, such as One Love, “rescue” animals from overcrowded shelters and move them into foster homes. We also work with individuals that can no longer care for their pets. As a foster, you help an animal relax and feel safe again.
What if you can’t afford to care for a pet? Well, if you are a foster with One Love, all expenses are paid. That’s right, vetting, food, treat and toy costs are provided while you foster with us.
Afraid you can’t give them up to be adopted after caring? Unfortunately, there is always another to save. One of our fosters says that she saves three lives. The animal that was just adopted, the one that she can now save from a shelter, and the one that needs a spot in the shelter.
One Love Animal Rescue Group, Inc. covers all medical expenses for foster animals, in addition to providing food, necessary supplies (e.g., crate, toys, etc.), and professional training/support as needed.
Generally, we prefer that fosters live within a one (1) hour radius of Blackwood, NJ. Exceptions may be made with the understanding that fosters are responsible to regularly attend adoptions events with their foster animal(s) in the Blackwood, NJ area.

Most animals remain in foster care for 2-6 weeks, although it’s important to note that the length of a foster commitment cannot be guaranteed. If you have prior commitments that prevent you from fostering beyond a certain time frame or date, a secondary foster home can be arranged with reasonable notice.
Yes! You will work closely with a foster coordinator to identify the right foster for your home/family. Preference for characteristics such as age, weight, temperament and activity level will be considered.
