But if you want to start helping pets NOW, don't wait. Find an adoption group near you that's participating in our Foster a Lonely Pet for the Holidays program and sign up to get an adoptable pet out of a shelter. (Not sure you're ready? Check out our gallery of pets in need of foster homes and you may change your mind!)
But don't forget to log in to Facebook (and make sure you've "liked" Petfinder's Facebook page) and join us on Tuesday, Dec. 13 from 3-4 p.m. ET so we can answer your questions.
