Fostering
saves lives, and without a committed foster base, its hard to help dogs
in need, especially when they are given a 'deadline' for saving. Now that you have decided to give one of our dogs
a great home, we have a process we need to follow. We want to make
sure that our dogs find the perfect foster and/or their forever
homes, the first time.
We need to review your information and contact your references. Sometimes, because of people’s busy
lives, this can take several days. Generally, this part of the process
can take up to two weeks. So please be patient, and know that we
are always working towards having the pleasure of meeting with you.
While in Foster Care, the animals costs are covered by RSNB.
The Process:
- Fill out and application and contact us.
- First meet and greet the pup and we normally
bring the dog to you and then dog goes back so you and family or
others have time to think about the commitment and if the dog is
right for you.
- Home visit which is sometimes done on meet and
greet and if all is a go the dog is placed with you for a general two
week trial to make sure its a good match for everyone.
- Adoption application is then processed or the
dog is returned to RSNB.
**These guidelines on the trial time do not apply to Fosters only**
All situations are different, so this is just a general guideline of how the process goes. We do encourage fosters to adopt in most cases as it is less stressful for the dog, and as animal advocates, that is our primary concern!
