What Does Fostering Mean and How Will It Impact Me?

It means bringing a homeless dog into your home, caring for them, providing him or her with affection and socialization, until a permanent family comes along who will love him or her forever.

The benefits of fostering are numerous, not only for the dog and the Amazing Dogs rescue, but also for the foster!

Fostering Saves Lives

Our shelter can only accommodate so many dogs.
Every dog that you are willing to foster, is a dog that we can pull from the street or a county shelter.
Fosters are also crucial to help expectant female dogs, by affording them a quiet and comfortable atmosphere to deliver puppies and care for them in those first weeks of development.

You Have A Hand in Helping Make The Dog More “Adoptable”

By training your dog, you can provide him with play and stimulation, as well as get to know the dog's true personality.
You can work with Amazing Dogs on leash training, home training, or other basic team training that potential adopters will find appealing when searching for the perfect dog for their family.

Change your dog's future

Many dogs that come into our care have experienced difficult pasts, abuse, cruelty, neglect, lack of socialization, etc.
As a foster, you have the chance and opportunity to gain the dog's trust and show him or her human love. Perhaps for the first time, provide an environment where you feel safe and watch them transform before your eyes.

Fostering Can Be Great For Your Family

If you have existing pets, introducing a dog can be a great experience for them as an additional companion, additional socialization, and an additional playmate!
Children can benefit from fostering to introduce responsibility, selflessness, a way to educate about animals, and is also a great way to "test" the idea of a permanent dog into the home in the future.

You become part of a wonderful "Community"

Fellow fosters from Amazing Dogs will help guide you through the experience, give ideas, answer any questions, and may even become your friends!
There is nothing quite like sharing experiences with those who do the same and being part of a community of people who have like passions.

You will make someone's family complete

When the day comes that your foster family finds the perfect home, you will feel proud knowing what you helped that dog achieve during his time with you.
You will be overjoyed that he has found his forever family and his happy ending that all stray dogs desire.
Knowing that a rescue dog has found her happy ending and that another precious life is waiting to receive your gifts is the sweetest feeling in the world!

Thank You for Considering the Lifesaving Act of Becoming a Foster

Fosters truly are the Front Line for these dogs & a critical step in saving more lives!

A foster home is a temporary living situation for dogs while they are awaiting placement in a permanent home

Foster families provide shelter, food, care, love, and guidance

The number of dogs we can save depends entirely on the number of people who will open their homes and hearts to foster them.

For some of these dogs, this will be their first experience being treated as a family pet

You are their salvation!

Never underestimate the important role you play in their lives.

Why Foster?

The only way that we can save dogs is with the help of foster homes

Being a foster family has rewards beyond the essential value of helping a pet in need find a new home.

For some, it is a chance to have an dog companion without making a lifetime commitment, or to try new companions for an existing pet.

Foster Care is critical to our rescue efforts:
The more 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.
