4 Signs You're Ready to Foster a Dog
- You want to help transform a shelter dog into a pet, and help another family find the right dog for their home.
- You've been thinking about getting a dog, but you're not sure you're ready for a the lifelong emotional and financial commitment and you want to get some practice while helping dogs in need.
- You want to give your current dog some canine companionship.
- You have space in your home and schedule to accommodate a temporary guest and give her/him the attention they need.
The main function of a foster home is to provide a safe, loving home environment. This just means caring for your foster as you would care for your own dog: offering food, affection, socialization, and exercise to keep the dog healthy and happy.
As a doggy foster parent you may be asked to:
- Transport the dog to and from adoption events.
- Participate in obedience training at home and/or in classes.
- Report back to the rescue workers with information about the dogs personality and behavior.
- Speak with potential adopters to tell them about your foster dog and help determine if they are a good match.
