- 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.

- 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.

- 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: Cheyene Tonopah Animal Hospital North Rancho Rd is the vet that A Home 4 Spot pays for. Their phone number is 702 – 645-3036
