Children in foster care and their pets
From angelhousega.com/our-love-of-pets ↗About this program
At North Georgia Angel House, we understand that the bond between children and their pets is more than just companionship – it's a source of emotional stability and comfort during a time of upheaval. Pets suffer a loss when separated from the children who love them, and children in foster care face an added layer of grief when they are torn from their furry friends.
Our goal is to preserve the bond between children and their pets, raising awareness of this critical issue. On any given day, over 14,000 children sit in the Georgia foster care system.
Pets and children thrive in homes where they feel welcomed, loved, safe, and purposeful. If you meet a child in foster care, ask about the family pet. You may find that the scar of this abrupt separation does not heal easily. At North Georgia Angel House, we recognize this bond and work diligently to maintain these precious relationships. We believe this is a win for both the child and the pet, ensuring they both continue to thrive together.
