A regional animal welfare organization has launched an effort to find more 
foster homes for animals to reduce the need to euthanize many of them. 
The Animal Welfare League of Arlington, a 59-year-old organization that cares 
for homeless and suffering animals, came under scrutiny from some rescue 
organizations last year because it did not have a foster home program. Such 
programs arrange for animals that are not immediately adopted and face certain 
euthanasia to be cared for instead by members of rescue organizations at their 
homes until the animals are placed.

"As custodians of the planet it is our responsibility to deal with all 
species with kindness, love, and compassion. That these animals suffer through human 
cruelty is beyond understanding. Please help to stop this madness."
