Want To Foster a Dog?
|
Are you interested in becoming a dog foster? As a foster-based rescue, our fosters play a very important role in our rescue efforts. Fosters care for the needs of the dog they are fostering until the dog is placed in a permanent home. Let us know if you are interested in being considered to be a volunteer dog foster by completing our online volunteer information form. Also, you can help us find fosters by forwarding a link to this page to everyone in your social media network! You can also print copies of the flyer below and hang it up at school or work:

What Are Fosters Responsible For?
|
As a volunteer dog foster, you would be responsible for providing the day-to-day care of the dog you are fostering, including:
Happy Tails Dog Rescue will provide all the necessary vet care and grooming for the fostered dog and will cover the cost of veterinary care, medications, and other necessary treatments. Happy Tails is also responsible for marketing the dog and facilitating the application process in an attempt to find the dog a permanent home as quickly as possible. |
Why Being a Dog Foster Is the Best Thing in the World!

Want to make the world a better place in one easy step? Take home a foster pet from your local rescue group. Fostering means taking in a dog, or any other homeless pet, with the goal of nurturing them for a while until they can be dispatched to a permanent home with a family who'll love them forever. It's a crucial part of the animal rescue world. It's amazing for both you and the animal you are fostering.
