Why Foster?
When you foster, you agree to take a homeless dog into your home and provide love, care and attention, either for a predetermined period or until someone adopts the dog.
Why would Rescued Dogs
Need Foster Homes?
Our organization may not always have enough physical space to shelter all our adoptable dogs. We depend on foster providers to help us care for the dogs until they find their happily-ever-afters.
Puppies are often too young for adoption, and foster homes provide a safe place to grow and thrive until they find their forever homes.
Sometimes a dog is recovering from surgery, illness or injury, and a foster home is the best and safest place to recuperate.
We also prefer dedicated foster care for dogs who exhibit signs of stress such as pacing or cowering.
Fairy Tails depends on foster providers to help care for dogs who have never lived in a home before, or for those who have had limited or negative contact with humans and/or other animals. A foster provider helps to slowly socialize these dogs before they become adoptable.
What are the Benefits
of Fostering a dog?
Fostering a rescue dog is an important and rewarding experience. By taking an animal in need temporarily into your home, you allow the dog the time he or she needs before they are ready for their forever home, helping ensure a successful adoption down the road.
You’ll also help the Fairy Tails team learn more about the dog, so he or she can be matched with the best home possible.
Fostering can be an important step in socializing the dog, possibly getting him or her accustomed to living with other pets and different types of humans.
Every dog who finds a foster home frees space at our rescue so that we can help another needy dog.
