What are the basic responsibilities of a foster home?
A foster companion will care for the dog as they would their pet, providing a safe secure stable environment, food, companionship, basic training and exercise, and supplying generous amounts of patience and love. Some dogs require special care, such as post medical attention, increasing weight or strength, socializing, building trust, exercise, and fun. Others may need you to help reinforce manners, working with problem areas (leash manners, housetraining, barking, etc.), and be taught basic obedience (sit, down, off, etc).
