French Creek Golf Club, an exclusive golf club in northwestern Chester County, will be the site of a charity golf tournament on Monday, July 27, that will benefit Animal House Project (AHP), a Pottstown-based nonprofit organization that serves pet owners in need. This year’s event, which marks the eighth annual golf outing, will be held at a unique venue and will also have late lunch/early dinner served following the event, similar to last year. The tournament is in honor of Yoshi, an akita that served as AHP’s “spokespuppy” for 12 years prior to his death in 2024.

Fostering Pets a Chance to Be Part of the Journey BY ANN MEAD ASH
Anne Hendricks, outreach coordinator with All 4 Paws Rescue, a nonprofit, fosterbased, all-breed organization located in Malvern, is familiar with the most common excuse potential pet foster parents give. “They all say, ‘I could never foster because I would want to adopt them all,’” noted Hendricks, who has fostered more than 100 dogs over nine years. “We have all foster-failed at least once,” she added, referring to a foster dog she knew she would be keeping within the first 24 hours of fostering her. According to Kisha Reinmiller, site director for Pennsylvania SPCA Lancaster Center, many who foster do become adoptive pet parents. “ We are always recruiting new fosters,” she shared. “A lot of them adopt for the first time.” Both organizations reported that becoming a foster parent for an animal is not complicated. The Lancaster Center application can be found online at www.pspca .org, and the All 4 Paws application is at www.all4pawsrescue .com. Representatives of both organizations noted that the foster application is similar to the adoption application. “We process (the applications), and then we reach out,” said Reinmiller. Hendricks pointed out that for potential fosters who already have pets, contacting the applicant’s vet is a crucial step. “We talk to the vet to be sure (the applicant’s) pets have been well taken care of,” she stated.
