Heylo... I am thinking about becoming a foster care parent for the Northshore animal League I would like to know,from the people who have done this, how it works and was it good experience? Any other info or tips would be good too... Thank you!!!!!!Tips for being a foster parent for Northshore Animal League?
I foster for a small private shelter. I do it because I can't see a dog who is lacking something - discipline, affection, food, grooming, whatever, and not make some effort to provide it :o)
I usually take dogs who do not do well in a shelter setting or who are not very adoptable - shy, poorly mannered, not housebroken, etc., so it is a lot of work.
I have the help of my two dogs (you see them in my avator photo). They serve as good role models for the foster dogs, which is a great help.
Sometimes its hard to let go - when you have invested a lot of time and energy getting a dog to trust you, its easy to think nobody will be good enough to take him home. But the best reward is seeing a dog who has been adopted, and who is doing well in his new setting.
In my case, I have chosen to absorb any costs other than medical expenses. I used to foster for a better funded rescue group that could afford to reimburse me for food, as well. Every group is different.Tips for being a foster parent for Northshore Animal League?
Hi, I'm a foster carer for The World League For Animal Protection Inc. In Sydney.
It's a positive experience except the animal often needs a lot of work, and requires much more attention then your other animals.
Think for every hour with your other dog, two hours it this one basically.
Just give i go, it's normally good. Anyways, they don't let anyone foster they'll tell you whether you're appropriate.
