What are the disadvantages of foster caring?
A – The dog could bite you or a family member. – Metal health seems to be a big problem these days. Dedicating all your time to saving dogs without saving some time for yourself will increase stress, anxiety and could also lead to mental illness. – Dogs and puppies will cause damage to your property. – A dog may carry a parasite or virus which could be dangerous to other pets at your house. (Get your pets vaccinated beforehand) – If the dog gets sick you may be responsible for providing extra time and care such as medications and special diets (depending on the rescue group). – You will have to part with some money. Foster carers must understand that they are doing this work on a voluntary basis. Rescue groups do not profit from rescue and they simply can not afford to pay every single expense a dog incurs while in foster care.
