Fostering
Because we do not have a brick and mortar facility we rely on our foster families to care for the animals in our program. Without our dedicated group of fosters we would not be as successful as we are. Fostering is simple although it does require commitment. Foster parents need to agree to: Keep the dog indoors as part of the family, bring the dog to our weekly Saturday pet adoptions
FAQS
Q: Can I choose which animal I foster?
A: Yes! One of our volunteers will help determine what animal will work best in your home, and we strive to place you with animals that work with your entire family (both human and other pets). We will email out animals in need and you can pick what animal you foster.
Q: What is expected of me as a foster?
A: The more you are able to put into your foster animal, the faster they will be adopted! We do ask that foster homes, with the help of PPR staff, do continued in-home training to help animals become the best versions of themselves. We also ask that foster homes bring their foster animals to two adoption events per month, and needed vet appointments.
Q: What supplies does Tri State Pet Rescue provide?
A: We provide all needed supplies, food, and vet care.
Q: What if my foster animal needs vet care?
A: We cover all vet care, and if your foster animal ever needs to see the vet they will go to our approved vet. Our volunteers will be available to support and direct you on any vetting needs should they arise.
Q: Will I be sad when my foster is adopted?
A: Certain foster animals are harder to let go of than others, but you will be involved as much as you would like in your foster animal’s adoption and will approve of their adoptive home. It also helps to remember that every foster animal that is adopted opens up space to save another life!
Q: Can I adopt my foster animal?
A: Yes. If you decide that your foster animal is the perfect fit for your home we will go through the adoption process with you.
