Interested In Fostering?

New Beginnings Pet Rescue is looking for responsible pet lovers to join our family of foster homes! Since fostering in our homes allows us to a true picture of how the pet reacts to other kids, cats and other dogs, it makes placement in their forever homes more precise with more information to give to the adoptive family. Foster families should be able to make a commitment to spend time with their foster pet giving love, exercise, training and attention to the dog or puppy for however long it is in foster care. If you would like and online foster application, please let us know and we would be more than happy to send you one!! :)

Is Fostering For Me?

Is fostering for me?? All foster parents should be able to commit to spend time with their foster dog/puppy and give them all the love, training, exercise and attention the pet needs for however long it stays with them. Sometimes there are dogs with special needs or that need special care and that surely takes time and effort. If a dog has special needs (needs major surgery, is handicapped, etc), we usually know that BEFORE the dog is placed in the foster home, so you can always decide if that is something that you would like to take on.

What Are My Responsibilies?

What are my responsibilites as a foster parent? Foster homes provide the daily care for the pet. This includes feeding, exercising, medicating (if necessary), socializing, grooming, beginning training of basic manners and commands, housebreaking (if necessary) and evaluating the dog or puppy for general behavior and temperament. Providing love and security to a dog or puppy during a transition in it's life is extremely important. Being a foster home is extremely rewarding, but please keep in mind that some rescue dogs may not be housebroken, may be ill, or may have had little socialization or obedience training. When these challenges arise, we've found that given patience and basic training with positive reinforcement, these dogs and puppies improve and blossom!!!

How Long Does The Dogs Stay In Foster Care?

How long does the dog stay in foster care? It varies. A dog or puppy may be ready to be rehomed in 2 weeks, but finding the right family match (through the application process) may take several weeks or even months more, depending on the dogs, it's personality, it's age, and health.

How Much Does It Cost To foster?

How much does it cost to foster a dog? Lack of funds shouldn't prevent you from fostering.
