August 4th, 2009Fostering. First, the basics.
One of the most important ingredients to a successful foster experience is your partnership with the group that you work with. These are the people who will – ideally – support you during the weeks and months that you have your dog. You should never feel alone with this big project, so make sure the group you hope to help has a good track record with solid adoptions and that they take matching foster dogs to foster homes as seriously as they take creating those final adoptions. Using drama and desperation to find homes shows up in some rescue circles, but it’s not a sustainable way to do business. Avoid drama junkies.
