One of the most important, challenging and rewarding jobs within animal rescue is the job of the foster parent. Without caring, committed foster homes, very few dogs could be rescued and rehabilitated.
Our foster parents provide safe, loving homes where each dog is provided with basic care such as food, water, shelter and love. Many rescued dogs have never seen the inside of a home so the foster parent may need to teach them basic house manners. Oftentimes, the rescued dog is in need of medical treatment so the foster parent provides them a quiet place to recover, takes them to vet appointments and gives them their medicine.
Once the dog is well enough, the foster parent makes arrangements for potential adopters to meet their foster dog either at their home or at another agreed upon location. The foster parent knows that making the right match for their dog is critical to a successful and permanent placement into a loving forever home.
It takes a big heart and a huge commitment to see to the needs of a foster dog. SGSR is committed to providing on-call support to each of our foster parents. They are our most valuable asset.
The work is hard but the rewards are beyond measure. Knowing that you are a vital link in the rescue chain from certain death to a happy ever after is one of the most wonderful feelings in the world. Most adoptive families keep in touch, sending updates and pictures of the treasured pet that they owe to you and SGSR. Won’t you consider opening your heart and your home to foster one of our rescues?
