Managing Your Foster Pets

We are so glad that you are volunteering to foster! Did you know that you can manage all of them with ease on a single page? The Fosterspace module gives you the ability to update animal profiles, view animal appointments, and send a ticket for medical concerns, supply requests, and more! 

Here’s how you can manage your animals.

In the ‘Actions’ column, you are given 4 icons:

  • Edit Animal
  • View Animal’s Appointments
  • Add Notes
  • Send a Ticket

We’ll take a look at each button.
