Introduction to Fostering Dogs (Download)
From my own experience with fostering animals needing a second (and sometimes third chance) at a happy ever after, I discovered that success after adoption lies heavily on the training they get in the shelters and foster homes.
Rescues and shelters rely heavily on volunteers to foster the dogs and in turn, those volunteers train each other. Many foster home coaches are working a full-time job and caring for their families while also fostering dogs.
Having so much on their plates, their available time to train new people to become successful fosters is limited. Without proper training and coaching, many new fosters become frustrated and overwhelmed after only one or two dogs then stop fostering.
My goal is to help fosters become successful with their temporary charges, reducing the stress and frustration that often comes with having different dogs in your home regularly.
I hope you find this introduction to fostering dogs helpful and informative.
