We were naturally curious as to why Kona's owner opted to start fostering animals in the first place, knowing that Asa had fostered over 164 animals and given them permanent homes. "It's my way of giving back to the animals via fostering."

I've always adored dogs, having grown up with three of them (4 at one point). I grew up in a shattered household, and my dogs were the one consistency in my life. As an only child, I relied heavily on them for comfort. They gave me so much joy throughout my youth that I knew I wanted to repay them in some manner, and fostering is my way of doing so."
