Field to Foster Online Course
A field to foster (FTF) process is an alternative approach to fast-tracking animals from the field to foster homes without fully admitting them to the shelter. An effective FTF process will help you remove animals from at-risk environments, engage foster caregivers, and preserve your shelter capacity to serve the animals most in need of intensive or longer-term care. An FTF process is especially helpful in cases of large-scale neglect or institutional hoarding in which a group of animals without serious medical or behavioral needs need help quickly.
