Over the last few weeks, the new coronavirus outbreak has been affecting animal shelters across the country: Volunteers can no longer come to play with the animals, and donations for many organizations have come to a halt in this uncertain time. Luckily, most shelters are still looking to place animals in a foster situation, which means healthy adults can apply to have a dog or cat come live with them. This frees up a bed at the shelter for another animal who needs to be rescued and means you’ll have a furry companion to spend time with while you're spending time at home.
