Foster Parenting
We are in need of foster homes in Florida, Georgia, Ohio, and Connecticut. If
you are located in these areas and would like to help out, please fill out the
fostering application and forward it to us. We will contact you as soon as
your information is received! We have a complete screening program for
those who would like to become foster parents before we find these pets
forever homes. It is a great help when we know we can make a call to
someone telling them we have rescued a dog and need to house it and
observe its behavior before putting it up for adoption. You may even find
yourself doing some training. What these pets need most is love. Some have
been abused. Some have been neglected. Some have been abandoned due
to poor health of the parent or a move to a place that does not allow animals.
They need to be made to feel secure. You can offer them your love and your
services.
Considering volunteering as a foster home?
Here's a little information to help you decide.
Q-What is a foster home?
A-An interim home where each dog is cared for, nurtured and evaluated prior
to placement.
Q-How long do dogs stay in a foster home?
A-The amount of time varies according to the dog's needs. The average time
is two to six weeks.
Q-I work full time. Can I still foster?
A-Yes! We just need to find a foster dog that will be OK during your work day.
It also helps if you're willing to crate your foster while you're gone, or limit
where your foster has access to while you're not home.
Q-How does it work? Do I have a choice in which dogs I foster?
A-First, you'll fill out our personal information form to help us decide which
dogs will be a good fit for your home. You tell us your wishes and limitations,
much as you do when you apply to adopt. We select a foster for you based on
the information you supply. And finally, the most often asked question!
Q-Don't you get attached to your foster dogs?
A-Of course! But helping the dogs find a wonderful permanent home is the
greatest reward of fostering. The photos and e-mails you'll receive from your
fosters new family will make it all worthwhile. And there's always another dog
in need that requires your special TLC.
Please contact us at foster@papillonpalsrescue.com if you would like
more information.
We need you!
