Dog fostering is providing temporary care for a dog in your home until they are adopted into a permanent home.

Dogs need fostering for various reasons, including overcrowded shelters, medical needs or simply because they haven’t found a permanent home yet.

The length of time can vary widely but will be a minimum of 3 weeks

Fostering responsibilities typically include providing food, water, shelter, exercise, socialization, and transportation to vet appointments or adoption events. You may also need to administer medication if required.
