Please Be a Foster Home


WILL YOU BECOME A "FOSTER PARENT" FOR A DOG or PUPPY?
There are countless unwanted or stray dogs in the Cincinnati area in need of foster homes. They may be nursing moms, too young, sick, confused, or frightened to be adopted yet. That is when a "Foster Parent" is needed. Sheltered Paws Dog Rescue is limited in how many dogs’ lives we can save by how many foster homes are available. On occasion, in emergency situations, we pay to board dogs when our foster homes are full and there is nowhere for the dog to go. This is not only very costly but not fair to the dog waiting for a loving, forever home, especially when days turn into weeks.

Sheltered Paws Dog Rescue will provide all the support you need and help in finding an adoptive home for the dog. Fostering a rescued dog in your home provides a caring environment until it is adopted into its forever home. Fostering requires dedication, patience, and commitment. It is, however, an extremely rewarding experience for the entire foster family.

The benefits of fostering a dog are numerous. The dog has an opportunity to live in a more personal and loving setting, as opposed to shelter life. It also provides a safe secure place where the dog’s true personality traits can emerge. This observation can be helpful in determining the best environment for placing that particular dog. Most people want to know all they can about their prospective dogs before adopting, and families who foster can provide that information.

Another important benefit to dogs in foster care is the love, individual attention, and training (if needed) they receive. Fosters experience the joy of knowing the dog will be placed in a good home as Sheltered Paws Dog Rescue is very careful where we place each and every rescued dog.
