Got love to share? Consider becoming a foster volunteer!
As a foster volunteer, you would make a short-term commitment to nurture one or more dogs from RASKC in your home on a temporary basis.
Some dogs need a break from their kennel at the shelter.
Might you help?
Among the dogs that are eligible to be fostered, you choose which animal that will go home with you.
Foster volunteers are given training online, individualized support, and everything necessary-- free pet food, a free crate, free toys, free medical care for the foster dog,...
When the dog is ready to be adopted, you may choose to:
a) Select who the dog will be adopted to following the Adopters Welcome rules, or
b) Bring the dog back to the shelter, or
c) Adopt the dog yourself
You can decide when the time is right for you to foster-- on an ongoing basis or you can take breaks.
Community service might be available for school (if okay with the school). Usually, 1.5 hours is credited for each day an animal is cared for in your home.
Next steps:
1. Submit a volunteer application
2. If you are an adult, submit a liability waiver
3. Watch the online training videos
Share your love and have fun as a foster parent to sweetie that needs you.
Thanks for considering this possibility. We look forward to hearing from you...
