Grateful Dogs Rescue
is always in need of new foster homes! You can make a difference by
fostering. The number of dogs we can save is dependent on having a place for them to stay until we can find them a loving forever home. Fostering
is the first step in giving a dog or puppy a second chance. For many
dogs, the process of being kept in an unfamiliar shelter and then going
to an unfamiliar home is very traumatic. While in a foster home, these
dogs have a chance to feel safe, secure, and loved which will help
prepare them for their new forever family. What is involved in being a foster family?
Providing temporary shelter and care for a dog or puppy. This typically ranges from a few weeks to a few months.
Bringing
your foster dog for his/her first veterinary appointment for a general
health check. If necessary, bringing your foster dog for follow up
appointments. All veterinary costs for your foster dog are covered by Grateful Dogs Rescue.
Preparing
a short profile of your foster dog with a write-up and some photos.
This will be posted on line to help give the potential adopters an
honest description of the dog.
Bringing your foster dog to adoption events. Grateful Dogs Rescue can help with transportation to and from adoption events.
Talking to potential adopters about your foster dog.
Grateful Dogs Rescue is very supportive of our foster families! We try to find the right dog that will thrive in your home and provide an extraordinary network of people who will help make fostering an easy and rewarding experience for you. In addition to paying for all veterinary care, grooming, and behavior training for your foster dog as needed, we can help with:
· Dog walking services through “walks for rescues”
· Dog sitting while you are away on vacation
· Extra supplies and incidental costs for your foster dog that you are unable to cover.
· Anything else? Just ask...we do everything we can to help our foster dogs and our foster families
