What is "Fostering"?

Fostering a dog is taking care of it until we can find it a home, which depending on the dog, averages between 2 weeks and 4 weeks.  We pay for all medical care and grooming.  You provide food, shelter and a loving environment.  Most of our dogs come from animal control on their "last day" so your home literally allows us to save another.  If for any reason the dog isn't "working" in your home or you have a dog you can no longer foster, we simply move the dog to another foster family.  You can foster as much or as little as you like.   As the foster family you can be involved as much or as little as you like in determining the best adopter for your dog.  We screen our applicants thoroughly but the foster family is consulted on potential adopters for their dog, meets the potential adopters and decides whether or not the family is a good match for their dog.   If you would like to foster a dog, please complete an adoption application and indicate you would like to foster a dog, or email us with any questions.  Thanks!!
