Fostering Vs Adopting In India people tend to confuse fostering with adopting. They can both help give a dog a better life but there are a few differences between the two. Adopting- Pet adoption is the process of taking up the responsibility of an animal that has been given up, injured or in need. Adopting a pet means that you are giving a dog a forever home. Fostering- Fostering a pet provides them with temporary care and shelter before adoption. The foster parents act as a temporary guardian to the animal in need. Once they find a good home for them, the animals leave the care of their foster parents and go with their adoptive parents.
