Fostering Program

An important component of D.O.G.S. Rescue is our foster homes. The principle behind fostering is to provide one of our homeless dogs or cats with a stable environment in order to evaluate their personality, habits, needs and behaviors. This allows us the opportunity to gain information that is useful in finding the appropriate permanent home for the animal. We need caring, responsible adults to join our foster home team by opening their homes and their hearts to a special dog or cat in need.

Why Should I Foster A Cat Or A Dog?
As a foster parent, you will be able to love, care for, and enjoy knowing different cats and dogs. You will als be doing a wonderful thing - giving these deserving animals a chance at a new life.

What Will I Need To Do As A Foster Parent?
Foster homes are responsible for the daily care of the foster cat or dog, including feeding, exercising, socializing, grooming, reinforcing basic obedience commands, observing and evaluating general behavior and temperament, and of course providing patience, love and security.

Understand that all the animals are rescue animals and their behavior can be unpredictable. Be prepared for some adjustment issues in the beginning. It can be stressful for both you and the pet to be in a new situation. Be patient. If the going gets tough we will help out with advice and encouragement.

Will The Animal Be Healthy?
All of our adult animals are vet checked, spayed or neutered (or soon will be), current on all vaccinations, micro chipped, tested for worms and parasites and treated as needed, and dogs are tested for heartworm and are on preventative. We will tell you if an animal has a health problem and together evaluate whether or not an animal with medical needs is a good choice for you (such as a dog undergoing heart worm treatment). All puppies will have their first shot and be fecal checked for parasites and treated accordingly.

How Long Does An Animal Stay in Foster Care?
The foster stay varies with each cat and dog depending on the age and personality of the animal. Younger animals usually get homes faster, while older ones sometimes stay longer. There really is no way to say how long an animal may need foster care. Some may stay only a few days while others stay a month or more.

What Will It Cost To Foster An Animal?
D.O.G.S. pays for any necessary medical treatment the foster pet may require while under your care. We will also supply a crate/carrier, food and any toys we have on hand.
