a short video we produced for your foster caregivers!
- Q:What am I responsible for financially?
- A:Your responsibilities mainly center on caring for and feeding the animal. A Home 4 Spot pays for all reasonable medical costs, provided no negligence was involved. In addition, if a foster parent cannot afford food, our organization will provide it.
- Q:How long do you usually have a foster dog before it gets adopted?
- A:Foster times vary, usually lasting from one week to six months.
- Q:What does fostering a canine involve?
- A:Foster parent responsibilities include:
- Feeding and providing water for the dog.
- Exercising the animal.
- Bringing the animal to at least two adoption events per month.
- Within the first week of fostering, sending us three pictures of the dog, along with a bio.
- Setting up any requested meet and greets with potential adopters.
- Q:Do I have to attend adoption events? I work on weekends or it’s my time with my family.
- A:You or a friend/family member must bring your foster dog to adoption events at least twice per month. We want to find them a new home!
- Q:What if I decide I want to adopt my foster dog myself?
- A:You can do that.
- Q:What are the adoption fees on the dogs and is it a set fee?
- A:There is not a set fee. The fees generally run from $200 – $400, depending on the breed and medical condition.
- Q:f my foster dog doesn’t get along with my personal dogs, what should I do?
- A: Please contact Diana England at 702-239-7986
- Q:What if the dog does not work out in my home as a foster?
- A:You will need to provide A Home 4 Spot with at least three days’ notice, in order to give the organization time to find a new foster home without incurring special veterinarian boarding fees.
- Q:Do I have to crate my foster dog? I don’t like to and never have used a crate for my own dogs.
- A:We strongly advocate crating. Not only is it a good potty training tool, crating gives the dog a sense of security and a place they can call their own. It also makes the animal a more attractive candidate for adoption.
- Q:How much and how often should I feed my foster dog?
- A:Please feed the animal twice a day – once in the morning and again in the early evening. Please read the back of dog food labels for recommended amounts.
- Q:Can I take my foster dog to the dog park and other public places not related to A Home 4 Spot events?
- A:Yes, as long as they are socialized, comfortable around crowds and other animals, and you have control of the dog.
- Q:Who do I contact and where do I take my foster dog if they need to go to the vet?
- A: Cheyenne Tonopah Animal Hospital, 3348 n rancho dr, las vegas, nv 89130 is the vet that A Home 4 Spot pays for. Their phone number is 702-264-3036
