Chapter 3
Based on your reading so far, what might make fostering Chewy and Chica different from simply owning a pet?
Example answer: I think fostering means caring for Chewy and Chica while helping them find a lasting home. Owning a pet usually means planning to keep that pet. A foster family has to think about what another family would need to know about the puppies. I think that makes fostering both helpful and emotional.
