Often a complete history and temperament of a foster dog are unknown.
An important part of fostering is to relay this valuable information so we are able to place the dog in the best possible home.

Please be realistic and honest about what type of dog you are able to welcome into your home and champion into adoption: *

A vital part of being a foster is observing and reporting to the rescue so your foster can be placed in the best possible home, because, as stated, when a dog enters a new foster home there are often personality and behaviors previously unknown to the rescue.
