S. Gans, secretary of the Red Bluff Rifle Club, is in receipt of a letter from Assemblyman Sisson, stating that the Adjutant General had approved the organization of a rifle club in this city and that the papers have been for- warded to the proper au- thorities in Washington for approval. It appears that the early steps for organization are meet- ing with good success. There is a great deal of red tape connected with putting the new organiza- tion on its feet and it will be several weeks before it is perfected. — April 11, 1915 10 0 YE AR S AG O. .. Ne w ri fle c lu b is p as t fir st r ed t ap e te st Fosters are kind peo- ple who open their hearts and homes to animals in need. Fos- tering really does save lives. When you foster a homeless animal, you are giving that animal a greater chance for survival. Simply stated, a foster is someone who cares for an animal that would not do well in a shelter environment. Animals typically fos- tered at the Tehama County Animal Care Cen- ter are dogs and cats. They can be adults, orphans or moms that are either preg- nant or who are nursing their newborns. In addi- tion, the animals may be ill, injured or just need a place to recover from a re- cent surgery. Whatever the reason, and whether you only foster once or decide to do it frequently, you will know that because of your efforts, an animal was helped through a difficult period in its life. When thinking about becoming a foster be aware that it is a commitment, not only to the organiza- tion for which you are fos- tering, but to the animal's well-being. Because the animal will be a part of your home, it is important that all family members are supportive. Addition- ally, consider how much time you have available. Depending upon circum- stances, fostering may take anywhere from a couple of weeks to a few months. If you already have pets at home, consider that you might have to keep them separated from the foster animal. Also, be honest re- garding skill level and ex- perience. Since the ulti- mate goal is to insure the animal's health and well- being, the shelter or rescue will need to know abilities to correctly place the an- imal. Be sure to ask what your financial responsibil- ities will be and what the shelter or rescue will cover and provide. At the Ani- mal Care Center they pro- vide all food, supplies, vet- erinary care etc., so there is essentially no cost to a foster. Basic requirements fos- ters are expected to pro- vide are: a nurturing en- vironment, appropriate nutrition, suitable shel- ter and adequate exer- cise. In addition to pro- viding the basics, fosters may be asked to transport the animals to veterinary appointments, adoption events, etc. Fosters are crucial in re- habilitation situations. By assisting an animal in re- covery, and providing it with a nurturing home venue, fostering helps in- crease the chance of a suc- cessful move into a perma- nent home. With regard to orphans, fosters be- come the surrogate parent, providing the care neces- sary for those too young to function on their own. By providing these babies nu- trition, socialization, and basic training during their formative first eight weeks of life, fosters help to en- sure the health and sur- vival of the animal. While fosters are needed for orphans un- der 8 weeks of age, preg- nant or nursing moms, animals requiring either medical treatment or a place to recover from sur- gery, it does not mean you are required to be a fos- ter in every situation. The choice is yours. For some, cats and kittens are easier to foster, because they do not need the space or time that dogs and puppies re- quire. For others, the pref- erence might be small or older dogs. Unfortunately, finding enough fosters is often a difficult endeavor. One of the reasons is that peo- ple are often fearful it will be difficult to let go once there is an emotional at- tachment. While it is hard to bring a first foster back to the shelter, remember that he/she is now ready, because of your efforts, for that loving, permanent home. Some of us who have fostered decided to adopt the animal and are now affectionately called "failed fosters." Each year, a large number of animals are born with no one to take care of them. At the Tehama County Animal Care Center, the ability to take in these abandoned animals is directly depen- dent on the number of re- liable fosters they have to help. The more fosters available, the more lives that can be saved. If you are interested in learning more about the Center's foster program, call Man- ager Christine McClintock at 527-3439. Fosters are an amaz- ing group of very caring people who do everything from bottle feeding un- derage orphans, to work- ing with adult animals in need of recuperation. Fos- ters help ensure that these animals are ready for hu- man and animal interac- tion. They provide care, safety and most of all, love. In addition to the benefits that both humans and pets receive from a foster situ- ation, removing one ani- mal from the shelter makes room for another. For ev- ery animal that is living in a foster home another can be saved. RonnieCaseyisvice president of PETS — Providing Essentials for Tehama Shelter. She can be reached at rmcredbluff@ gmail.com.
