Frequently Asked Questions:

How long are dogs in foster homes?
There is no average length of stay; it depends on the organization, the dog and the situation. But somewhere between two weeks and three months is not unusual.

What are foster parents asked to do?
Each shelter or rescue organization has its own requirements, but these are common:

  • Provide food, water and basic training
  • Keep the dog on-leash when outside the home or yard
  • Transport the dog to adoption events
  • Monitor the dog’s behavioral and physical health. Report any problems to the shelter and/or transport the dog to a vet clinic
  • Help further the search for a good home

Can I foster if I have animals of my own?
Yes, in almost all cases. Your own dog and the foster dog need to meet to make sure they get along. As for cats and other pets, you would consult with the organization’s staff about a foster dog’s suitability, and then supervise carefully.

Do I need specialist knowledge?
Absolutely not. If you are familiar with basic training techniques, most organizations hope you will practice manners with him or her. And some older or sick dogs need medications administered – the staff will show you how to do that.

How much time would I need to spend each day?
It depends on the situation. Young, energetic dogs need lots of exercise and play; older dogs spend much of their time snoozing. Orphaned puppies or sick dogs can be very time-intensive guests. Generally, allow two hours per day for walks, meals, play sessions and potty trips.
