During the past few months, we've seen a variety of animals wandering about an aquarium and learning about the creatures of the sea! Now, it's time for the land version -- a Zoo!

And two little kittens were able to come face to face with their much larger cat family. It wasn't just tiny kittens that went on this incredible field trip! Two foster pups were invited, too! 

What is the purpose of bringing foster pets to the zoo, you might ask? It's all to raise awareness for animal adoption! The animal shelter that brought in the animals to the San Antonio Zoo is Animal Defense League of Texas.

As more and more people are forced to stay home these days, many are using it as an opportunity to foster a pet to help keep them company during isolation. The people at Busch beer decided to incentivize people even more by offering 3 months of free beer to anyone who fosters a dog during the self-isolation days. 

Their new heartwarming slogan for the campaign is "Social distancing is better with a furry friend by your side and a cold beer in your hand" and to be honest, we can not imagine better isolation conditions. 

From now until April 22, the beer brand will give a free three-month supply of drinks to those who adopt or foster a dog through Midwest Animal Rescue & Services (MARS).  The beer maker will give recipients a $100 gift card, the cash equivalent of two 24-pack cases of Busch, for three months. Busch is also donating $25,000 to MARS to help find animals loving homes across the country.

"During these uncertain and lonelier times, people need an escape: cue the cute puppy memes and photos," said a spokesperson for Busch in a statement. "But as much as we need those cute puppy pics to help get us through social distancing, it's actually them who need us."

A kind-hearted Imgur user, that goes by the username tayrclark, has taken on quite a big responsibility. 

Eight puppies to be exact. When tayrclark went to give dog supplies to homeless pet owners living within tents, one tent she came across had a suitcase filled with puppies. She later returned that night to check up on the puppies, bringing with her some milk, bottles and some food for the momma. 

And even though their owner was doing a great job of caring for them, tayrclark offer to help the owner find these pups stable loving homes. The next day, the owner asked if she could foster them. And without hesitation, tayrclark accepted. 

However, care for eight puppies is no easy task... 

All the feels! Kate Howard is sharing this heartwarming and completely unexpected reunion story of her and the pup she once fostered, and we can't stop smiling!

Kate Howard, the managing editor at the Kentucky Center for Investigative Reporting, shared the story on Twitter and it has since gone viral. 

We just love a happy ending! Just another friendly reminder to adopt, don't shop. 

Finally, those animal rescuers nationwide that are fostering dogs and/or cats for approved charities have an opportunity to be rewarded for their generosity and kindness. Via: The Catington Post

Jessica is an amazingly crafty veterinarian and a foster mom from Portland, Oregon.  She loves kittens but also Taylor Swift.  She was watching Taylor Swift's new video for "Look What You Made Me Do" when she had the purrfect idea! She decided to created seven different outfits, each of them sewn by hand, for her seven foster kittens, in order to help them get adopted. The results are adorable!

Dogs and cats have always faced the stereotypical challenge of them never being able to get along. But for Flora, a 100-lb. malamute, and her best friend Dexter, a 20 year old cat, it could have been further away. The two shared an incredible bond. One that is everlasting.  So when Dexter sadly pasted, Flora was devastated. And nothing is worse than seeing your beloved pet, sad. So her owners did what thought necessary to turn her frown, upside down. The best medicine was a handful of kittens.

The kind hearted cat welcomed them with open paws

We love this guy that can't stop rescuing and fostering animals.

OMG THESE TWO ARE KILLING US WITH CUTE!

Remember Pikelet and Patty Cakes, the dogs that fostered baby ducks? Well, their ducks eventually grew up and got adopted so now the doggy brothers are taking care of another baby. His name is Potato.
