    Two questions in regards to foster programs:

    1. What emergency support do you offer your fosters?

    2. What kind of behavior support do you offer your fosters?

    Hi Erin!

    I'd love to hear from others on this too, but I wanted to pass on some resources that might be helpful:

    Behavior support for fosters at AWLA (15 min. video) 
    Behavior foster at Lifeline Animal Project (10 min. video)
    After hours support for fosters at Brampton AS (7 min. video)

    One of the ways shelters are supporting fosters is by creating an online location where fosters can find information. APA!'s dog foster resource page has a ton of info on dog behavior, among other things.
