FOSTER DOG FAMILES WANTED

Save to Favorites

ORGANIZATION: PetsLoyal2Vets

  • 4 people are interested

Wanted: Foster dog homes wanted in Scott and Dakota counties to help raise dogs for short terms while waitiung to be assigned to veterans. Prefer homes with no dogs, but will consider on a case by case basis.

If you are interested in volunteering as a foster for a month or two for Pets Loyal 2 Vets, we would like to hear from you.

You must understand the responsibilities of being a foster and the time it will take to foster these dogs for veterans waitiung to be assigned. We are looking to develop a regular base of foster homes we can trust and help foster a variety of dogs for fellow veterans with traumatic brain injuries and PTSD.

You must be able to provide a safe, calm, clean stable home environment with no other dogs present, fenced yard preferred, non-abusive family members, non-alergic house members. All dogs fostered will have all their shots and paperwork and will be micro chipped and spayed or neutered and thouroughly vetted.

Forming a partnership with Pets Loyal 2 Vets will help ensure the life of a Minnesota veteran is not forgotten or taken for granted or used by for profit kennel operators to promote their for profit enterprises and also helps save the life of a homeless dog.

Pets Loyal 2 Vets was created by, and built by veterans for veterans, has no paid staff and all donations go directly to benefit disabled veterans enrolled in our programs. Our overhead is less than 1%. All of our services and dogs are completely free of charge to our veterans. If you are a veteran who has applied for a dog and wants to raise or train along side with your new companion, that is even better. No greater love comes from that of a fellow veteran supporting another veteran by helping to raise and train a dog for fellow vets.

Fosters must be at at least of 22 years of age, have a stable home environment. Experience preferred and no more than one dog alreday in the home if approved. Home inspections are required as well.

Help another veteran by applying as a foster for our wounded brothers and sisters and know that your paying it forward will help save two lives at once. To apply. go to http://petsloyal2vets.org/foster-application/

Although we seek veterans, if you are not a veteran and want to help foster train a dog for a veteran, please consider this opportunity. It will bring many months of joy to your family knowing your efforts are helping support our Minnesota troops.
