This started because of Peters’ deep concern for the animals being stuck in the shelter, not having a family to celebrate with during Thanksgiving. Another great thing about the foster program is that usually the pets end up being adopted by the family, or friends of the family who want to give the animals a forever home. Year after year, more and more people are committing themselves to inviting shelter animals over for Thanksgiving. This year, 92 animals have been granted the opportunity to spend Thanksgiving with a wonderful family. If ever a family chooses to adopt the pet they invited over for Thanksgiving, the shelter is happy to waive the adoption fee for them.
