With the year winding down, my gardens are starting to need less time and attention, and I'm feeling like I can take on something new. We also recently lost one of our pets. I don't know if we'll adopt another pet, but fostering or volunteering feels doable.
Volunteering would be the least disruptive to our household (and only requires 3 hr/wk commitment) and dh would like that. But I feel our pets - especially our boxer - would benefit from fostering. She's very active and energetic and could use an extra playmate.
I haven't volunteered at a shelter before or fostered animals so would appreciate hearing from those of you who have and what you liked/disliked about each.
