Adoptions from foster homes are almost always more successful.
Foster care helps to socialize the dog to situations he may encounter in his new, permanent home.
Foster care providers assist in determining the dog's temperament and suitability for placement with other animals and/or children.
Young dogs and puppies get the special care they need during the formative early months of life, offering them the socialization skills they will need as they mature.
Foster home providers help assure that the dogs receive needed care by veterinarians at the appropriate time. By being familiar with the dogs, they also recognize when something is not right with the dog's health and can head off more serious illnesses with prompt veterinarian care.
Without foster homes, the lives of many dogs would most likely have ended in a shelter.
Without foster care, a special needs dog would most likely not have been saved.
Foster care is a rewarding
and fulfilling way to help pets in need. More lives can be saved when
foster homes are available for rescued dogs. When fostering, the level
of financial responsibility you are able to assume is your choice. Many
foster homes not only cover the costs of daily feeding, but routine
veterinarian visits, spays or neuters, the costs of heartworm treatments,
or other special health needs of their fostered dog. You can decide
what amount of financial care you are able to provide. You are asked and
expected to keep the dog safe and secure by making it a part of your
family, inside the home as much as possible; and securely locked in your
fenced yard when you must leave the dog outside for short periods of
time. As a foster care provider, you will be asked to feed the dog same
food that the pet is used to eating, as well. And, of course, you will
want to give
the dog lots of the love that has been missing from its
life!
Love is one thing that costs you nothing and means the most to an
abandoned pet. If you are ready to become a foster home for a rescued
