Do you want to foster?
If you have rescued a stray animal and would like to find her a home, you might want to
consider fostering her through a rescue organization such as Frenzy Animal rescue.
Because these groups are volunteer based, it helps a great deal if you are willing to provide
the vet care and food for your rescued pet. Our ability to rescue animals is limited by
donations (which pay for the vet care and food) and the availability of foster homes, so if you
can provide both of these and are willing to follow our procedures, we can often accept you
into our foster program.
Sometimes it is a good way to "try out" a particular dog or animal and see if he is right for
you.
We always have more wonderful animals looking for good foster homes!
How does it work?
Duties of the foster caregiver:
The caregiver provides food, water,love, and other simple necessities.
The caregiver is responsible for helping to get the animal adopted by bringing her to
adoption shows, helping to talk to applicants, and providing information for ads and the
website.
The caregiver must follow FAR's procedures for adoption, for getting veterinary care, and for
providing appropriate care.
FAR provides:
Veterinary care, as approved by the Medical Coordinator.
Some supplies, as needed, such as a crate, temporary ID tag,
collar, leash, litter box, or carrier.
Lots of in-house expertise with behavior, diseases, and training.
Advertising, newsletters, adoption shows, and so forth.
Typically the fostered animal is kept separate from the caregivers other animals at first. This
allows you to evaluate her behavior, reduces the stress of meeting strange animals (on her
as well as on your own pets), and minimizes the chance of infection, since the rescued
animal may be carrying a respiratory infection or other illness.
Why foster animals instead of having a shelter?
Fostering has many advantages.
The animal lives in a home environment where she can feel safe and comfortable.
The foster caregiver can give plenty of attention to the fostered pet, and watch for problems
with illness or behavior.
The foster caregiver can judge the needs and behavior of the individual animal - how he
behaves around other pets, adults, and children, how much space and exercise he needs,
what kind of permanent home would be best for him.
