We have the dog’s medical history. If you do not get an immediate answer leave a detailed voicemail.
House Manners are Important!
If you fall in love with your foster: If you decide that you want to adopt him/her for yourself let us know as soon as possible. There is no “first right” for the foster homes, unless you have spoken up first. Meanwhile, we are actively promote these dogs. On any day, or any home visit, we can change the foster dog to adoption-pending for a pre-approved adopter. We would hate to turn you down, but we would also hate to turn down a potential adopter that spoke up first. We will not tell you if someone is inquiring about your foster dog. Please understand that we do our best to avoid disappointments. Your Foster Director, Erin Jesswein is always available to assist you. Please utilize her expertise. Thank you for your willingness to foster. This is a huge help to us, a very valuable donation of your home and time! Please be advised that reasonable expenses donated toward fostering are tax deductible. This includes, but is not limited to: dog food, treats, mileage, toys, bedding, etc. Consult your tax advisor.
