This is great! The animal rescue Columbia Second Chance works with Stephens College to allow students to foster a pet. They provide vet care and food and will take the pet during breaks. Check out Pet Central for more information.
It's also mentioned in an article by the Columbia Daily Tribune, Foster Program Offers Benefits to Pets and Potential Adopters.
And there's a clip from the Today show on Pet Central in this blog post, Dogs in College: A Closer Look.
