Why is foster care so important to Almost Home Rescue?
Our organization relies on foster homes. We do not have our own kennel facility so foster homes are a necessity to enable us to save lives. Through their dogs, our foster parents help to educate hundreds of people about responsible rescue, responsible dog ownership and common breed misconceptions. Q: What is a foster home? A foster home is a temporary home in which our dogs can live outside of a shelter environment and as companions – until they are adopted. A foster parent gives the same care that an owner would provide. They are responsible for the safety and care of the dog. A foster family provides playtime, socialization, veterinary care (paid for by Almost Home Rescue), nutritious food, plenty of exercise, training and companionship. The foster parent plays a very important role in making the dog more adoptable while he is in their home, foster parents also help the adoption coordinator determine what type of home would be the best match for the dog. Q: How do the dogs get here?
