Is there a way to be less attached to the pet I am fostering?
user
No, I’m afraid there isn’t really a way to do that.  When you foster a pet, you’re making a commitment to be a safe home for the pet, and even if you don’t want to keep the pet in the end, you will still have an emotional bond to the pet.  Are you interested in finding out more about the possibility of keeping the pet that you foster?
