WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE SOMEONE CONSIDERING FOSTERING?
I would say, to not think about the “what if’s” and just do it. What your foster needs most ( love, safety, patience and kindness) will come naturally for you and you will be rewarded a 100 times over.” -Molly
FOSTERING SAVES LIVES!
RECUE DOGS NEED FOSTER HOMES!
Fostering saves lives. The more open homes, the more dogs that we can save who need out NOW from high kill shelters or homeless situations. We can bring them into our rescue program and move them to a home immediately with a foster or adopter. The problem is, Fosters are scarce, to say the least.
We are always accepting foster home applications. We cannot say YES to saving a dog unless we have a home for them. We have to wait until we have a foster lined up, there is no line anymore and dogs are dying because they have nowhere to go and options are limited.
In today’s world, times are tough, people are incredibly busy and one of our biggest resources needed is time Time for dogs to be dogs, time for them to let us know their needs and who they are, time for them to have a break from the center and learn what a home is like.
FOSTER FAMILY
Foster families care for their foster dog until a forever family is found.
Cane Rosso Rescue legally owns the dog while providing medical expenses and supplies when necessary.
The foster family donates their home environment, while tending to the rescue dog’s daily needs and medical needs in coordination with Cane Rosso Rescue. They work to socialize him/her, include the rescue pup as their own in daily activities, and creates quality social media material to help find his/her Forever Family.
Responsibilities of a foster family include LOVE, fun, patience, positive reinforcement, socialization and guidance for a rescue dog while they learn to be a dog in a home environment.
Foster families are asked to bring the dog to any necessary vet appointments and to adoption events to help them find forever homes. Foster families also often are the ones introducing their foster dogs to the prospective adopters. Cane Rosso rescue will provide support, guidance and education on how to introduce a foster dog to an adopter and will be supporting you every step of the way.
