Paws Between Homes has launched a holiday campaign in an effort to get as many pets as possible into foster homes by January. The local nonprofit animal rescue launched in late 2019 to help individuals facing housing challenges find temporary foster homes and care for their pets.
McDONOUGH â Looking for a way to boost her spirits during the pandemic, retired resident Faye Hindson, 71, turned her attention to Henry Countyâs residents with four paws.
Sheâs been adopting rescues for years. Her first, a stray redbone hound named Maple, got her thinking about animal homelessness and how she could help.
Hindson began volunteering for Paws Between Homes, a nonprofit that acts as a safety net for people and their pets experiencing housing loss. Over the last year she has fostered several dogs including Cyrus, a Jack Russell terrier, and Sage, a Yorkshire terrier.
Cole Thaler, board president of Paws Between Homes, said Hindson has a natural way about her as a caregiver, giving the attention and TLC they need while away from their owner. She knows what they need to make sure they do not feel abandoned, he added.
