If you’re thinking of fostering but have a certain limitation you’re worried about, it’s worth reaching out to us and seeing if we can make the right arrangements together.
Fostering is affordable
One of the biggest misgivings people have for getting a dog is the expense. Between food, vet visits, walkers, supplies, and more, the annual cost of a dog can range between $1,500 and $9,900. Fortunately, your wallet isn’t nearly as much of a concern if you opt to foster instead. If you’re worried you’re not in a financial position to own a dog right now, fostering is a great option for you.
You find a friend for your current dog
If, on the other hand, you already have a dog and you’re wondering if fostering is right for you, the answer is still yes. Many foster homes have permanent pets. Once again, bringing in a foster dog is a win-win situation. Your dog gets some company to play with while you’re out of the house or working. The foster has a “role model” they can learn good behavior from. Being around trained dogs who are comfortable in their homes is a great experience for foster dogs. Just make sure you introduce the two properly.
