How does fostering for Westie Rescue of North Texas work?
Fostering is an integral part of the adoption process. Sometimes we are able to do a “home-to-home” placement, but most dogs we receive require at least a brief period of foster care. This gives us an opportunity to get more insight into the Westies personality and needs, and helps us in a successful permanent placement. Dogs remain in foster care for different amounts of time; between a few days and up to several months for Westies with significant health problems. Once they are ready for permanent placement we match that Westie with the prospective adopters we have on file so we can obtain the best match. If you would be interested in fostering, please fill out the regular Adoption Application. There is a question on the first page asking about fostering. Once we receive your application, we will get in touch with you about setting up a time when we can come meet you and your pets, to see what type of foster Westies would fit in well with your family.
