Animal Shelters and Foster Care

In Korea, there are a lot of strays.  Some people purposefully collect and neuter any stray they can to help with the population of animals without homes.  I saw a dead kitten outside our trash bins last spring so understand why controlling the babies is important.  The animal shelters here have a law that they must all follow.  If there is an animal in the shelter after 10 days, the animal must be put down.

In response to this, a growing movement called foster homes is being started.  People take in animals instead of sending them to the shelters.  They help the animals settle down, learn to trust humans again, and to find themselves.  These people keep updates on the animal on websites, and from there find homes for them.  It is a good thing that is going on.
