Getting The Best of Both Worlds

If you are interested in fostering for us please  one of the following: Sue or Steve & Karen

Do you or someone you know want a dog to share your  life with BUT:
 
1. You cannot commit to a dog for it's lifetime due to your age, your job situation, your future housing needs.
 
2. You would like to have a dog, but the  medical costs prevent you from having one.
 
3.Your dog has  passed away, and you are not ready to commit to another just yet.
 
4.You enjoy walking and running -but don't like to do so alone.
 
5. You enjoy the challenge of training a dog, but don't want to go thru the "puppy" thing again.
 
If  any of these apply to you, then maybe fostering a dog for rescue would be just what you are looking for.  Unless a dog has a medical problem, such as Heartworm-fostering is usually for a period of 3 to 4 weeks.  During this time the dog will need to be crate trained if it is not already  , some require housebreaking, and some need to learn the basics of obedience and leash walking.  They need to be socialized to different situations, such as taking to a petstore, having them greet strangers in your home-see how they are with other dogs and with cats if possible.
 
All medical costs are paid for by rescue-and it does require dog experience to be a foster home. 
 
If you think this is something you would want to try-please click on the CONTACT US button-we would love to discuss the option with you.  Many dogs are passed over due to lack of  foster homes-so if you love this breed-consider being a foster home
