Fostering a dog is one of the most rewarding experiences you can have (other than adopting, of course).

What does fostering a dog involve? When you foster, you agree to take a homeless dog into your home and give him or her love, care and attention, either for a predetermined period of time or until the dog is adopted.

Why do we rely on foster homes? With many dogs that come and go, we sometimes run out of room and need a foster home to care for a dog until we have space available or a permanent home can be found. Often a dog has not lived in a home before or has not had much contact with people and needs to be socialized, which can best take place in a foster home environment where foster parents can spent more one-on-one time to fasten the progress.

Why should I foster a dog? By taking an animal in need temporarily into your home you’re:

• freeing up a spot so we can take in another dog.
• giving your foster dog the time he needs to be ready for adoption.
• helping us learn more about the dog so he can end up in the best home possible.
• socializing the dog to a home environment and possibly getting him used to being around other pets and different types of people.

Anyone interested in fostering needs to contact us either via email or                                                                           phone!

Potential fosters will have to fill out a foster agreement/application and have a home check.
