Urgent Need – Fosters

FCR needs additonal Fosters NOW for:

Dogs in immediate danger of being euthanized at local & surrounding shelters.
Shelter dogs who return from spay/neuter clinic and need 5-7 days to recover before returning to the shelter.
Dogs/puppies turned over to us from the general public for a variety of reasons who would otherwise be taken to Animal Control.
Our current fosters who need temporary relief from fostering to go on vacation or just need a short respite.

Unfortunately we say NO more often than we’d like. The more willing fosters we have, the more we can say YES. You truly can make a difference and save a life! To become part of our growing volunteer team, please contact us today!

Please inquire by sending an email to: FoothillsCanineRescue@Yahoo.com

Foothills Canine Rescue endeavors to adopt our fosters out within 3 months. Fostering 1 dog a year would be a huge relief to us and save lives. Here’s what we ask of our fosters:

Fosters should work with a foster dog as they would any new pet in the home. Basic commands, such as: sit, down, stay, leash training, crate training and house training and socialization with people and other pets. Crate-training is highly encouraged. FCR will provide a crate, if needed.
Fosters are encouraged to network with each other to cover vacations and emergency care for their foster dogs and to give the Foster Coordinator ample notice of such needs.
Fosters should be enthusiastic about getting their foster dog adopted as soon as possible.
Fosters are asked to provide their own food for their foster dogs as part of their volunteer commitment.
Updated pictures every 2 weeks following. 2 or 3 good pics is sufficient.
Bio info upon getting to know your foster, and then as you notice additional changes in behaviors/habits, send us that information.
Fosters must bring their foster dogs to at least two adoption events per month but preferably once a week.
Fosters are encouraged to “SHARE” posts about their adoptable foster dogs on Facebook and other social media to spread the word. They may personalize a note with their “SHARE” and send updated pictures directly to FCR to make original posts.
Fosters are also encouraged to like, comment, and share posts about all of our adoptable dogs from FB and other social media sites.
FCR will provide veterinary services for all foster dogs, including the monthly maintenance of heartworm, tick & flea prevention.
If the dog isn’t altered upon foster intake, the fosters will agree to coordinate with FCR when the time has come to have their foster dog spayed/neutered as necessary.
