Foster a Rescue Dog, Save Another Dog’s Life
In a world where so many dogs are in need of loving homes, fostering could make a forever impact and help change lives.
Benefits of fostering
Many people may not realize that fostering isn’t just providing a temporary home for a dog. It’s ultimately about finding them a forever home full of love.
Here’s how fostering can help:
Creating Space at Animal Shelters: For every dog fostered, there is an additional space available at the shelter for another dog to come in and potentially find its forever family.
Introducing Dogs to Potential Adopters: Whether it’s taking your dog to the park, for walks, or introducing them to friends and family, you are exposing your foster dog to potential adopters and increasing their chance of finding a home!
Discovering Their Personality: Fostering can help shelters learn more about the dog’s personality which can help to match them with potential adopters.
Socialization and Training: Foster homes provide an environment where dogs can receive individual attention, socialization, and basic training. Dogs that are well-trained and social often have a better chance at getting adopted.
Supporting Dogs In Need: Many dogs require extra care and attention, which can be challenging to get in a shelter environment. Dogs that are seniors, recovering from illness, or have a history of abuse or trauma need that extra time and love outside of the shelter. Fostering can really help improve their overall well-being and feel more comfortable around people and their environment.
Why Should You Foster?
Flexibility: If you have a busy schedule but still want to foster, it’s no problem! Fostering allows you to open your home to a dog as long as you can, whether it’s a few days or several weeks.
Affordability: Fostering is a great way to experience the joys of pet ownership, without worrying about the expenses. Big Dog Ranch Rescue provides all the supplies, support and vet checkups of the foster dogs.
Preparation: If you’ve been wanting a dog, but you're not sure if you can take on the responsibilities at this time in your life, fostering is a really great way to find that out and prepare you for the real-deal!
Company: Fostering is fun! Who wouldn’t want a furry friend to keep you company all day?
Are You Ready To Open up your heart and home to foster?
The Big Dog Ranch Rescue (BDRR) rescues dogs from high-kill impounds, crowded shelters, puppy mills, and abusive and neglecting situations.
Many of these dogs will undergo euthanizing when not rescued.
Fostering a pet opens your home and heart to companionship with an animal that needs tender loving care. This will not cost you anything other than your time.
