Fostering puppies typically lasts anywhere from 2 weeks to 8 weeks depending how old the puppies are. Generally they are in groups, but sometimes are single, and are just looking for a space to vacation away from the shelter so they can stay healthy until they are old enough to get spayed/neutered and made available for adoption. We ask that you bring them to the shelter for their vaccinations and contact us regarding any medical needs.
We also have dogs that are struggling in the shelter environment and need some extra one-on-one help in a home to learn manners and better socialization. These fosters typically last until the dog finds a new adoptive home, but can be just temporary.
We also have medical cases that need help recovering in a home, and these fosters will typically last for 6-12 weeks depending on medical condition.
You will be supplied with a crate, toys, and blankets for the duration of their stay with you and food to get you started as well as any medical supplies that might be needed.
If you are ready to open your home to some puppies for a few weeks, or older dogs needing a little extra love, complete the application. Once your application has been processed, our foster coordinator will be in contact with you.
