  • 1.  How to find foster homes?

    Posted 08-20-2019 05:45 AM

    Hello everybody! 
    We have had a cat foster program for years at our shelter, but we don't have foster homes for dogs. We have recently had a situation arise where we will be requiring one. My questions to you are;

    1) How do you find appropriate foster homes for dogs? 

    2) What is your screening process?

    Email me-- duer@maddiesfund.org. We're taking applications for apprenticeships and the Medium and Large Adult Dog Foster Apprenticeship in Tucson will teach you all about it.  We also have an online class based on the apprenticeship, called Growing Your Adult Dog Foster Program: https://www.maddiesuniversity.org/Catalog/LrnrTab2332/catalog/LrnrCtrl2332/catalog/LrnrKC2332/true/FID2332/b0c1f755-b2d5-48c0-a535-c380c4375207 In the meantime, this blog post may be helpful: https://chewonthis.maddiesfund.org/2019/06/recruit-repurpose-recycle-how-to-get-more-pets-into-foster-care-right-now/
