AARF uses a network of foster homes to house and care for the animals that we rescue. Foster homes commit to caring for and socializing an animal until it can be placed into a permanent home. Before an animal is placed into a foster home AND before it is placed into a permanent home, we conduct home visits to ensure that the animal is going to a safe, loving, responsible, indoor home. This is done not only for the safety of the animal, but to meet our licensing requirements from the Georgia Department of Agriculture. We need volunteers to conduct home visits to check things such as fencing, the security of the home, the disposition of any other animals in the home, etc. AARF will train volunteers and these visits are always set up by appointment, never as a “surprise.” A short inspection form is required to be filled out after each home visit of a potential foster care provider.
