TEN
REASONS
TO
BE
A
FOSTER
PARENT
TO
A
DOG

10. Companionship without a lifetime
commitment.
9. Animals that have endured hardship can really use a loving home, one in which
they can get used to living with people again.
8. Fostering provides a great lesson in compassion, nurturing, and generosity to
children and it’s a wonderful, life-affirming experience for an entire family, a
couple, or a single individual.
7. If you already have one or more dogs, one more won’t make a difference to
you, but it sure will make a difference to the foster dog who otherwise might
not have a second chance at life.
6. Fostering increases the likelihood of adoption and dramatically reduces the
chances of an animal being returned. If your foster dog is loved and accepted in
its new home, it is because of you!!!
5. Increased "human interaction" greatly helps foster dogs who often come from
neglectful or abusive situations… and lets not forget what "canine interaction"
can do for you.
4. You undoubtedly will get attached but when you meet the new family that's
ready to provide a permanent, loving forever-home for the dog you helped rescue
through fostering, you will feel more than satisfied to see him move on to his
new life
3. Its fun!!!
2. You get to show and teach your foster dog what a dog’s life should be.
1. More foster homes means more dogs saved from the pound and possible death; it
is a fact that only a small fraction of dogs impounded every year are rescued
from the terrible fate of euthanasia…FOSTERING IS A TRUE WAY TO SAVE A LIFE !!!
