Why would people want a rescued dog?
A – Unlike a shelter setting, a foster dog is being constantly evaluated, both physically and behaviorally in someone’s home. – The dog may already be housebroken. The foster carer will have started toilet training the dog/puppy before he is adopted. – The dog has been socialised. Often the foster carer has other dogs in their care. – The dog knows some basic obedience. Foster carers regularly deal with dogs, so they know the tips and tricks to develop the dogs behaviour and obedience. – The dog will be microchipped, desexed and vaccinated. – A foster carer is more likely to evaluate both the dog and the new owners to be sure that they will be well suited together. – The foster carer keeps track of whether the dog has an adversity to other animals, children, types of people etc. The volunteer can tell you if the dog should live as an only pet or if the dog would be okay in a multi-pet household.
