FOSTERING A FUR WARRIOR
Fostering is the most critical need for all rescue groups. Our foster homes are an integral part of the adoption process, giving dogs loving temporary homes until a suitable forever home can be found. Spending time in a foster home will provide a smooth transition for a dog into their furever home. While the dog is with you, your input will help rescue volunteers find the best possible family match for the dog.
If you are interested in fostering, you should be able to answer yes to the following:
- Do you have a sturdy, visible, above-the-ground fencing? (four foot minimum, five foot preferred)
- Are all of your own pets spayed or neutered, up-to-date on vaccinations with dogs on year-round heart-worm preventative? Your veterinary reference should be able to confirm the status of pets in your household.
- Any children living in the household are recommended to be six years or older.
- Do you have prior dog experience, large dog preferred?
- For renters, permission of the landlord is required
Finding the best fit for the dog in foster is important.
We will do our best to find the right dog for your situation with regard to kids, cats and other dogs. If the dog is not a good match, we will move the dog to another foster home
