  • 1.  Foster Care Report Card

    Posted 07-26-2018 09:38 AM

    Hi!

    I'm looking to create a "report card" to send home with foster parents, specifically dog fosters,  for them to fill out and return for potential adopters to learn more about the dog. If anyone already has something like this created I'd love to get some ideas from you Thanks!

    I love the Pima documents!

    Also, check out HeartsSpeak's website-- they have a bunch of tools that shelters can use to help write bios.

    My favorite is the adjective cheat sheet:  httpshttps://www.heartsspeak.org/project/bio-writing-tools-adjective-alternatives///www.heartsspeak.org/project/bio-writing-tools-adjective-alternatives/

    Here's a link to the whole bio-writing toolkit:  https://www.heartsspeak.org/project/bio-writing-toolkit/://www.heartsspeak.org/project/bio-writing-toolkit/

    Hi  CCASFoster,

    The amazing team at Pima Animal Care Center created this. Its for day trips and sleepovers, but you could use it for longer foster.  Do you use Maddie's Pet Assistant? We're also working on a survey for Maddie's Pet Assistant where foster caregivers enter info so that it's easier for you to write a bio... but it's not available yet.

    I've attached a pdf of the day trip report card our Dog Foster Coordinator came up with for use on the kennels, and the template we are starting to use in Chameleon.

    And this is the link for the In Foster Profile google doc:  https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdeAuJQe4tQCPsH2FS3j9cEXLlp_Mbn_R9vzsIsUiqFZaeEHQ/viewform?usp=sf_link

    We're trying all the things to see what is the easiest for the fosters and the staff.  Looking for a preference in communication methods  (:

    Hello! I am new to this forum and the shelter industry and I am so excited about the content!

    I'm curious, what does your Google site look like on the back end? Does it input all the foster survey info into a report for you? It is a great site. :)

    We give this form to all of our fosters. We have had good success using the form to match animals with potential adopters and the fosters enjoy filling it out.
