Foster A Utonagan
Fostering a dog saves a life. Foster care consists of providing a safe, loving and temporary home for a dog until a permanent adoptive home can be found this may take several months.
Foster Home Responsibilities
1. Provide a temporary home for the dog.
2. Be patient. Understand that the dogs are rescue dogs and their behaviour can be unpredictable. Be prepared for some adjustment in the beginning. It can be stressful for both you and the dog to be in a new situation.
3. Be willing to foster the dog from rescue to adoption. The amount of time needed to find a suitable permanent home for a dog can vary from weeks to months.
4. If you work full time, provide a safe place for the dog to be while you are gone. If the dog will be outside whilst you are away be sure to provide a shelter for the dog to retreat to during wet, windy or hot weather. A fence of at least 6 feet is recommended to prevent a dog from jumping over (Utonagan are great escape artists). If the dog is to remain indoors, crate training is recommended to keep both the dog and your home safe and secure.
9. Treat the dog as a member of your family.
