Ananya's journey to a pet lover

​

Welcome to PAWS lovers website, where I share my journey on dog fostering! My name is Ananya Nayak, and I am a high school girl who has been fostering dogs for 2 years now. I have always loved animals, especially dogs, and fostering them has been a fulfilling experience for me.

 

Dog fostering is an amazing opportunity to provide temporary care and shelter to a dog in need. My journey began by volunteering at a local animal shelter. I was heartbroken to learn that many dogs are left homeless and abandoned, and I realized that I could make a difference by fostering them.  It took long time to convince my parents that we should adopt a dog from shelter. Finally, our beloved puppy "HAPPY' entered in our life and he showered us with lot of happiness in exchange of forever home for him.   He not only keeps us busy but also very attentive when it comes to safety of his owners.  This boosted our confidence and that triggered some thinking and motivation to give more time to puppies.  While there was restriction for adopting a puppy at home but there was no restriction for fostering and volunteering at rescue dog facilities and foster care centers.  There started my journey with my parents and I am thankful to them for introducing me and encouraging me to contribute to this noble cause.
