Foster

In your home

Time

10-20 hours a week when fostering a dog. Can take breaks from fostering when needed.

Role Description

GRRA never has enough foster families to care for the dogs in our program. Temporary (vacation) fosters are needed as well when other fosters must be out of town. Fosters are needed for (a) puppies, although not often, (b) senior dogs, © dogs with medical conditions, (d) dogs that do not get along with other dogs but love humans (foster must be the only dog in the house), and (e) special needs dogs. These dogs come to us from varied backgrounds and need your love & attention to decompress so that they will trust humans again. Work with the foster dog on basic skills such as leash training. Preferably able to take a foster dog to vet appointments, monthly Meet & Greet events to meet all approved adopters who want to attend and to meet prospective adopters. The time the foster dog is in your home varies with the availability to move the dog to a

new adopter's home and the dog’s medical condition. GRRA will provide needed kennels and equipment while the foster dog is in their home. Fosters cannot adopt one of their first three dogs that they foster.
