Consider Fostering

Thank You for Considering the Lifesaving Act of Becoming a Foster

Precious Paws Rescue does not have a shelter facility, this means that we can only help dogs in need when we have volunteer foster homes available. If you've ever considered volunteering by looking after dogs in your home until they are adopted, read on to find out more information about joing the Precious Paws team!

Why Foster?

Foster Care is critical to our rescue efforts, the more dedicated foster homes we have, the more dogs we can save. Becoming a foster family is a very rewarding experience, and can be a lot of fun. There are often tears shed when a foster finally finds a home of their own, but knowing you have saved a life and opened up space to save another is truly rewarding.

How Long Can I Expect to Foster a Pet?

Fosters will keep dogs an average of 4-8 weeks. Some dogs will need more time because of age, illness, injury, or behaviour struggles. Your time commitment will be discussed up-front before you agree to foster the pet, but most foster families keep the dog until the dog gets adopted.

What are the Responsibilities of a Foster Family?
  • Provide a safe, clean, and caring environment for the dog.
  • Provide food, water, exercise and socialization as appropriate.
  • Monitor any medical and/or behavioural problems and provide any medications as directed.
  • Assist with transport to/from veterinary appointments and meet & greet events.
  • Participate in helping Precious Paws find a family for the dog.
