Carolyn started fostering for CARE in the early 2000’s. She is a dog foster and also has dogs of her own. Carolyn became interested in becoming a caregiver when she volunteered for CARE at dog adoption events. The foster caregivers suggested that she give it a try, as we were very much in need of more foster homes to save more dogs. The same is true today! Learn more.
