Fostering animals isn't easy. Suddenly, you're living with a strange dog that needs your help. And once you’ve finally bonded, it’s time to say goodbye. But hard things are worth doing, especially when they change lives.

My Review:
Well-written and expressively illustrated, Foster's Leash is an engaging and heartwarming read for young animal lovers, educating them about fostering, handling complex emotions and making a difference.
Told from a first-person perspective, the story follows a young girl's fostering journey, with a focus on the mixed feelings she experiences. The girl enjoys taking care of her first foster dog Pepper and helping match her with the right forever family. When adoption day finally comes, she feels happy for Pepper but at the same time feels sad for having to say goodbye. She chooses to become a foster instead of an adopter because she wants to help more dogs in need. It means she'll have to go through this process over and over again. Is she ready to welcome the next foster dog in line?
Using a kind girl's authentic voice, this touching narrative inspires young animal lovers to help make a difference by taking an active part in fostering. It lays out what to expect in the process, and details how fostering actually works in real life in the back matter. To me, the foster's leash symbolizes the precious bond between the rescue dog and its foster, as well as the responsibilities associated with one's decision to foster.
As an integral part of the book, the artwork accurately captures Pepper's cuteness and the emotional challenges her foster has to manage. It does a wonderful job of drawing readers into the story and endearing the characters.
Inspiring and informative, Foster's Leash is a book that no dog lovers would want to miss.
