  • 1.  foster impact on adoption rate

    Posted 01-27-2024 11:49 PM

    I am looking for studies or stats that compare the adoption rate between fostered and non-fostered dogs.  Have you seen the Dodo Foster Diaries?  Any thoughts? Tx

    Kelly shared a wonderful resource in this thread! You can also find evidence on this topic in this resource by Human Animal Support Services in the "Foster Programming" and "Impact of Kennel Housing/Kennel Stress" sections.  This article from the collection is highly relevant: Evaluation of a Novel Dog Adoption Program in Two US Communities (Mohan-Gibbons et al., 2014).

    Hi Heather,

    I was super excited to see the HASS playbook. Thank you for directing my attention to the two relevant sections. I can't wait to dive in. Thanks again.
