Fosters Save Lives
You provide the food, shelter, love, guidance, patience, toys, and more love. We provide standard medical treatments, emergency care if needed, and a vet who will work with us nearby. We are always looking for new foster homes. If you are interested in fostering a deserving dog, please fill out our Foster Application.
The application process is as follows:
Complete the Foster Application.
Your personal and veterinary references will be checked, and a home visit may be scheduled. Be sure your references are aware they will be called by us.
Once approved, arrangements will be made for a foster dog that is suitable for your family situation and your experience level.
Make sure your entire family is prepared to bring a foster dog into the home.
Your own dogs, if you have any, should not be aggressive towards other dogs and should have basic obedience training before bringing any new dogs into the home.
If you have a cat, make sure you introduce the dog slowly, and give your cat a safe, dog-free place to go to.
Be prepared to potty-train your foster dog if necessary.
If you have young children, be very selective about the dog you take in.
Our rescue is always willing to take the dog back if things do not work out, so do not feel pressured. We will work to make it an all-around great experience for you and the dog.
Take time to train your foster dog in basic cues and manners. This will make them a lot more adoptable.
Socialize your dog as much as you can, not just to people but to other dogs. A social dog is easier to place.
To make fostering go smoothly:
Once you have taken your foster dog home, we ask that you:
Visit the vet for a standard examination and any needed treatments or vaccinations.
Provide us with pictures and a biography for our website.
Provide regular updates to the dog's pictures and biography throughout the fostering period, as we want the information on the website to be as current and complete as possible.
Attend local adoption events/meet and greets so prospective and approved adopters can meet the dogs.
