Fostering a dog in need is a rewarding experience like no other!
It is a great feeling to know that you have helped a dog move
on to a better life. For every dog we can help re-home, we can
open up a space to save yet another.
As a foster home, you are offered all the support you
need to care for your foster dog. All we need is for
you to provide affection, attention and some space in your home.
All dogs are fully vetted before arriving at your home. We will
work with you to find a foster dog that matches your home and
lifestyle. Most of our rescued goldens are homeless because of
people problems: divorce, new baby, moving, no time, too much
energy, no training, or the kids lost interest. Rarely is
it the fault of the dog.
We often hear people say that they cannot foster because they
cannot let the dog go, and often ask us how a foster family can
do it. One of the most rewarding and heartbreaking experiences
you will have will be to send your first foster dog on to its
new home. But, it is worth every pang of sadness you feel and
tear you will shed as you know that, with your help, the dog will
have a good, clean, safe and living home and a family of its own.
If every foster family kept their foster dog, it would close the
door for the next golden that is in a shelter or unfit environment.
And that is a shame.
If you have adopted from us, you have the love of your golden
thanks to someone who was able to let your dog “go”
and provide you with the opportunity to share your life with your
new companion.
