I get my newest foster doggie this week, I am so excited!!

03-14-2008, 08:29 AM

Are you aware that in your local area there are thousands and thousands of dogs, cats, rabbits, etc who are caged up waiting for the chance to be adopted??

Do you know that by fostering a dog you socialize him/her better so that a prospective person looking to adopt with have a better first time impression of that dog? Plus they look more healthy and have more energy when they can get out every day and live like a real dog.

Fostering usually does not take much work. And walking a dog every day does wonders for you own physical fitness.

Looks like I will be getting either a pit bull or a German Shepard this time.

Find your new foster dog or adoption at http://www.petfinder.com

And of course lots and lots and lots of kittes (shelters usually kill these the first few days they bring them in)

And don' forget about Rabbits. There are thousands of these huggable guys out there waiting to be fostered.

How would you like to be in a cage most of your day? Fostering gets them out of the cages of 24/7 barking and into a loving home which helps prepare them with good manners and great energy.

Their health tends to improve greatly because kennels are full of the stresses of living in a small gage and being exposed to lots of diseases.

yeah i can totally understand that, i just know that the animal will be majorly stressed again when having to go to his future owners. Think about it, you pick up a doggy, he gets all happy and makes himself at home. Then he has to go....

I am not saying not to do it however, it is obviously better than being locked up in the shelter. My respect for you for helping the animals.

I myself have two dogs, too bad I couldn't host any more.

Whatever small anxiety they have from changing "owners" is nothing compard to living in hell night and day.

Plus when you foster you often are there to get them back to good health. So you may need to give them medicine daily or wrap their bandages. This all prepares them for being adopted out at a later date.

I fully admire people that foster pets. I am ashamed to say it but I really don't think I could do it. It would simply tear me apart to say goodbye to them.

Another amazing perk of working in animal rescue is that you get to meet some of the most amazing people on the planet. These are people who care more to help other living things instead of what brand of watch you wear, if your Beamer is a 5 seriers or a 7 seriies, if you can help them with their careers, etc. Just great people all around.

Oh, and some of the females are 10 times hotter and more interesting than those meth-mouthed drunk self absorbed materialistic skanks you tend to meet at clubs.

This dog? Yes, it is difficult to imagine someoen throwing their loyal pet aside or (often much worse)

People can often take out their frustrations on their animals so foster people are there to help the dog to be able to trust humans again. This one looks a little bit skiddish.

Holly I hope you like amazingly delicious raw organic dishes. That is all we eat. Plus there will be a few artists and other surprises. I think about 75 people total. In Beachwhood Canyon.

We work with a local rescue. Only one foster cat at the moment, but at times we've had up to 4 foster cats (including our own) and an extra dog in the pack.

In some cases, you can even find a specialty breed rescue and get the breed that you want as well.

Spend you some brain.

I fostered one dog - a black blind pug I named Stevie after Stevie Wonder. I fell SO in love with him even after a few days. He was an older pug and ended up having a heart attack just a few weeks into his "forever" home. Broke my heart I don't think I could do it again, but all my 4 dogs and 1 cat are "rescues" of some sort.

I am on a, hopefully, temporary ban from fostering at the moment for this exact reason. We already have a houseful and I'm always trying to keep the ones that we foster on top of what we already have.

Even giving up the Pug puppies was hard for me, even though they went to family/friends and I'll be able to see them often.

awesome, you really love these pets, don't you?

We used to have a dog and a cat. But I'm inspired to foster one or two soon.

I want to cry just reading that. I had a number of cats as a kid that we 'rescued' (ie, they claimed us) that eventually ran away and I am afraid that traumatized me a bit with the giving away of pets. I am actually really paranoid with Maggie and Parker and their harnesses. I go mental if we are out and they have to have their harness off at all (ie to go into the travel cage in the car) because I am convinced something will happen and they will run and get hit or something. Then I want to crawl into a ball and rock just at the thought of it.

Yes, I am a strange person.

Yeah, that is one of the reasons I finally got the pups fixed. I just couldn't give their puppies away and not know they were okay.

Every time I watch one of those pet rescue shows I think that these people do awesome things with their lives and I should be doing that. Then they have to put a dog down and I know I couldn't really do it.

we adopted a Chocolate lab/ Dobie mix last night from a couple that temporarily fosters dogs to find them good homes. Dealing with the animal protection society is a pain in the ass and this is becoming much more popular for people looking to rescue good pets

The rescue we work with is a no kill shelter. We (the non-profit organization) have a large building that at any given time is home to upwards of 100 kitties and a few dogs.

The one thing I DON'T LIKE about the rescue organizations we've worked with is the backstabbing and bickering and politics that the old ladies who run the place can't seem to avoid.

In my 11+ years of working in pug rescue I've found one of the most important aspects of fostering is to get a feel of the dog's personality. Many are afraid of men. Some don't get along with other pets. Some hate cats. Some aren't good with small children. Some are very active. Some are pure couch potatoes.

It's far better to find this out in foster homes where the person knows that the dog is there temporarily than to find out when the person/family thinks the dog will be there forever, IMHO.

Yeah, I mean the ones that are put down for medical reasons. I simply couldn't deal with it.

BINGO.

If this is done properly, you have very few "returns". I know our rescue has a time out period for each new rescue.
