With lock down potentially reoccuring, some people have reached out to let us know they're able to foster while working from home. We appreciate the offer however we do need to make it clear that fosters need to be able to commit to fostering until their foster dog is adopted. This could be for a couple of weeks, six months, or a year... we can never truly know when a Poundie will be adopted. So, we need fosters who are able to commit to our Poundie's care and provide long term stability. Our Poundies are rescues who may have "quirks" and we need people who are willing to help work on these, with guided training and patience.

We have to consider that accepting short term fosters would mean that there will be a flood of dogs urgently needing new foster homes at the end of any lock down. We also have to consider the impact this would have on our Poundies. It can be difficult for them adjusting to one family for a month or so and then having to re-adjust to a new foster home if they are needing to be moved. 
We do however, always need reliable, stable, long term fosters available to help and would love to have those of you who are prepared and ready to commit to this. If you would like to learn more about fostering please check it out HERE. We will be looking at all applications during Level 2 and getting new foster homes up and running as quick as we can! Please be aware that all foster applications are subject to a clear background check with Animal Control, secure fencing and no more than one dog already on the property. If you are renting, you'll need written landlord consent to foster.
