DOG & PUPPY FOSTER CARE PROVIDER

Save to Favorites

Without foster care providers, we cannot save lives! Open your home to a dog in need.

Foster Care is the temporary housing and daily care of a rescued dog until it is adopted into its forever home. By providing a stable environment, our foster care providers can help some dog heal from neglect or recover from an emotional issue, lack of socialization, an illness or medical condition. Whereas other dogs just need a short stay until adopted.

When fostering a dog or puppy for A Caring Place, we ask that you do the following:
1. Treat the dog as if it were your own pet - providing clean water, feeding it wholesome dog food twice daily, regular exercise, scheduled outdoor elimination (4-8 times per day), and a sleep area;
2. Work on housebreaking, good home manners, and proper leash behavior;
3. Take the dog to one of our veterinarians for medical attention or vetting;
4. Provide weekly updates to your Adoption Counselor on your foster dog’s progress, general behavior, and temperament;
5. Participate in our routine dog showings at Petco, special events, or other venues;
6. Collaborate with the Adoption Counselor for private showings to potential adoption applicants; and,
7. Be patient with your new house guest! We provide advice, counsel & encouragement.

Fostering requires dedication, but the rewards will outweigh the inconveniences. You will witness a dog’s over-all health improve: gain needed weight; fur becomes shiny again; and, best of all, see their spirit heal. Experience how rewarding it is to temporarily share your life with a dog who would have otherwise not made it out of the pound alive. You will know you have impacted a life when your foster dog looks at you in a very special way and you know they just said, ?Thank you for caring about me.?
