Fostering is a great way to help a dog in need. There is a huge chance that the particular dog that needs a foster would not have made it out of the shelter he/she came from alive. Most fosters end up fostering for the average of 2 weeks, but anywhere between a few days and about a month. Fostering is also a great was to see if you are ready to adopt a dog, and if you decide you are you are welcome to adopt the dog you are fostering. Dog food is provided to fosters, and if you need a crate you may borrow it. Sometimes we are able to drop off the dog to your house as well if you prefer.
