What does fostering a dog involve?
Becoming a foster parent is one of the most helpful things you can do for a homeless companion animal.
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 adoption groups need foster homes?
There are many reasons a dog might need foster care. Some of the most common include:
-A rescue group doesn’t have a physical shelter and depends on foster homes
to care for dogs until suitable homes are found.
-A puppy is too young to be adopted and needs a safe place to stay until he
or she is old enough to go to a forever home.
-A dog is recovering from surgery, illness or injury and needs a safe place
to recuperate.
-A dog is showing signs of stress such as pacing or hiding in the shelter.
-A dog has not lived in a home before or has not had much contact with people
and needs to be socialized.
-The shelter is running out of room for adoptable dogs.
Why should I foster a dog?
Fostering a dog is one of the
most rewarding experiences you can have (other than adopting, of course). By
taking an animal in need temporarily into your home you’re:
-Freeing up a spot so the shelter or rescue can take in another dog.
-Giving your foster dog the time he needs to be ready for adoption.
-Helping the shelter or rescue 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
