All of our dogs come from kill shelters. Many people know them as "dog pounds." For one reason or another, the dog ends up at the pound and they are never claimed. They are scheduled to be euthanized and that is where we come in! We pull them, get them the vet care they need (spay/neuter, health exam, rabies, heartworm check, vaccinations and they are put on heartgard and frontline.) So when they go into foster care, they are completely vetted!
Q and A about fostering
Where is the rescue? Our rescue is based out of Cleveland but there are several transports that are run throughout Ohio, location is not a problem. We have foster homes in Toledo, Akron, Columbus, Dayton and Cleveland.
What is fostering? Basically, you are taking on the responsibility of caring for a dog until they get adopted. Our fosters provide the necessities such as food, water, shelter and most importantly love while the rescue provides vet care, and any other "special" needs.
Why foster? I am a volunteer for the rescue so I can speak out of my own experience. Being a foster home is rewarding and fun. It is neat having a guest dog in your house and they are grateful to be out of the terrifying situation they were in before coming to us.
What kind of dogs are in need of foster homes? All kinds! We take in all breeds, ages, sizes and temperaments. Generally, the dogs that go into foster homes are housebroken and very easy keepers. Unless you want a challenge, which we don't mind! We have dogs that are hypoallergenic, small dogs, big dogs, hairy dogs, and not so hairy dogs. You tell us what would fit your home the best and we will be glad to make it work.
How long will I have a dog? Usually, dogs get adopted anywhere from 1 week to 1 month from when we get them. However, it is not uncommon for them to stay longer. If for some reason you cannot foster any longer, we are more than happy to take the dog back. This is a volunteer act and we understand that. You are helping us greatly by even having them for a short time period.
We appreciate our foster homes so much! They are dedicated, kind and in one word, they are amazing. If you would like to become a foster home please contact me. We ask that you fill out an application so that we can get an idea of what kind of environment the dog will be staying in.
