Why You Should Foster
Every dog deserves a champion
BECOME A FOSTER HOME
FOSTER CARE
Fosters provide a temporary home for a dog until they can be adopted. A foster home is a less stressful environment than a shelter kennel. Dogs in shelter kennels may not show their true personalities; they can become withdrawn or reactive due to stress. Placing dogs with temporary families allows us to learn about the dog so we can match them with the best adoptive home.
Why foster?
Animal companionship without the expense
Pet ownership is a huge financial commitment for 10+ years. Not everyone is in a position to make that commitment. When you foster, all costs relating to food, supplies, training and veterinary care are taken care of by the rescue.
Flexibility
As a foster, you can decide when you are (or are not) available to take a dog. Maybe you spend your winters down south? Perhaps you’re a university student with a particularly difficult semester? Did you land a new contract that requires longer hours or travel? You are welcome to take breaks from fostering to accommodate life’s unexpected twists.
Improve your handling and training skills
Every dog has something they are working on. It could be leash walking, house training, recall, separation anxiety or resource guarding. As a foster, you will be exposed to many dogs with different training needs. With our guidance, you’ll learn to correct many of these behavioural issues and become a more confident and competent dog handler.
