How was the experience?

We employ the practice of “decompression” for two weeks. Are you capable of separating your foster dog from your resident dog or dogs during this period?

IT IS NOT A REQUIREMENT that your foster dog “get along” with your resident dog or dogs … are you prepared to separate foster from your other dogs in your home if they are not compatible?

Are you prepared that your shelter dog may have issues such as lack of housetraining, separation anxiety, destructiveness, crate anxiety, etc?

If you not have a veterinarian at the present time, which vet do you intend using?

Please note: we do ask that you foster for our rescue exclusively; if you want to foster a dog from another rescue – for our dog’s safety – we need to know and approve.

AND, IF YOU ARE GOING AWAY ON VACATION OR BUSINESS, Rebound cannot be responsible to pay for boarding. If you need assistance, we expect notice before you foster that you will need help with this expense.

__INITIAL HERE. I have read the Rebound Hounds Vetting Guide for Fosters, the Rebound Hounds Foster Intro and the Foster Handbook.
