Yet another way in which the Canine Adoption and Rescue League uses volunteers is in its foster home system.
The Canine Adoption and Rescue League relies on a network of "foster homes" to provide a safe and loving environment while they await adoption into their permanent homes.
The League provides each foster family with food, vet care, and training assistance, as necessary, the only thing the foster family needs to provide is a loving and nurturing home environment for the dog.
One of the major benefits of "foster" care, as opposed to the traditional shelter, is that the dogs/puppies are being socialized in the environments into which they are being adopted.
Foster care also gives us the ability to provide prospective adopters with a very accurate profile of the prospective "adoptee", regarding general temperament; house breaking; socialization level with other dogs, cats, and children; whether or not the dog is a jumper, digger, or chewer, etc.
Such daily care and close observation also provides us with the opportunity to address behavioral problems before they become too instilled.
Becoming a Foster Parent
