Fostering is the single most important step after a rescue dog gets out of the shelter.
It’s how a dog gets to decompress, to be a dog again. It’s when a dog recovers, rehabilitates and recoups after what they’ve been through. It’s where a dog can experience being in a home, so they’ll be ready for their forever one.
Rebound Hounds takes fostering as seriously as adoption. That’s why we want our fosters to be fully prepared for the experience. We give our fosters 24/7 help, support, advice. We NEVER leave you stranded. We partner with our fosters in finding the best guardian, to ensure it’s a home that lasts a lifetime.
What does it mean to foster?
You bring a shelter dog into your life and your home. You treat them as if they were your own; good food, lots of exercise, attention. You might have to housetrain, or re-train. You share in the re-homing process, screen applicants, show the dog. We ask for a commitment to adoption.
Fostering is truly a selfless act. It is a promise to give time, energy, and emotion. It takes heart, patience and a sense of humor. Most of all, it takes love.
We believe when you foster you not only save a dog’s life and give it a far, far better future, you give yourself one of the most rewarding experiences you’ll ever have.
