 Our
greatest need is FOSTER HOMES!! This is very crucial for our Rescue, yet it is
one of the hardest goals to achieve. One of our many goals is to be able to
immediately place all the dogs that come to us into adequate foster care. This
way each German Shepherd Dog can have the ability to be in a home environment
and learn necessary house manners, training, etc.
There are many different kinds of foster homes: Emergency Foster Care,
Safe-House Foster Care, Short-Term Foster Care, Buddy Foster Care and the most
important, most cherished of all, Regular/Permanent Foster Care. (All types of
foster care are explained in detail in the Foster Care Packet sent to you when
you inquire about fostering.) The Rescue will provide food, medical care and a
crate - if one is available. All foster dogs are evaluated physically and
behaviorally before being placed in foster care. Each foster home is required
to fill out a Foster Application, which helps us learn more about the foster
home and place the correct foster dog in that foster home. A home evaluation
will be done BEFORE any foster dog is placed in foster care, to make sure the
home is sufficient for a large dog. The foster home will then sign a Foster
Care Agreement and receive Terms of Fostering for them to go by (rules and
stuff). If you would like more information about becoming a foster home for
Mississippi Valley German Shepherd Dog Rescue, please contact us and we will
give you more information and send or email you an application.
