Fosters truly are the FRONT LINE for these Giants & a critical step in saving more lives! A foster home is a temporary living situation for Dogs while they are awaiting placement in a permanent home. Foster families provide shelter, food, care, love, and guidance. The number of Giants we can save depends entirely on the number of people who will open their homes and hearts to foster them. For some of these Giants, this will be their first experience being treated as family pets. You are their salvation, and you should never underestimate the important role you are playing in their lives!
The only way that we can save Giants is with the help of foster homes. Being a foster family has rewards beyond the essential value of helping a pet in need find a new home. For some, it is a chance to have a Giant companion without making a lifetime commitment, or to try new companions for an existing pet. Foster Care is critical to our rescue efforts, the more homes we have, the more Giants we can save. Becoming a foster family is a very rewarding experience and can be a lot of fun. There are often tears shed when a foster finally finds a home of its own, but knowing you have saved a life and opened up space to save another is truly rewarding.
Fosters will keep dogs an average of 4-8 weeks. Some pets need more time because of age, illness, injury, or behavior issues. Your time commitment will be discussed up-front before you agree to foster the pet, but most foster families keep the dog until the dog gets adopted.
