Golden Gate Labrador Retriever Rescue (GGLRR), an all-volunteer, nonprofit organization that places Labrador Retrievers into loving new homes, currently has a need for foster homes in the SF Bay Area. Foster Parenting is a great way to spend time with one of the wonderful Labs that we are placing, providing a temporary home during the adoption process. Foster parents are provided with all of the information we have on the dog, as well as food and feeding instructions. This is a great way to enjoy the company of a Labrador Retriever on a short-term basis, while providing these dogs with much needed love, playtime, and affection. In many cases, approved adopters will come to the foster family's home to meet the dog before adoption. Interested foster parents should have experience with dogs, Lab experience is particularly useful but not required. Also, due to the stress and anxiety our rescued dogs are under, we prefer homes where someone can be with the foster dog a good part of the day, and the home must have a securely fenced yard as well. An initial phone interview and home visit will be required to become a foster parent.
