Getting To Know You

  • The application you just completed is very important however, the questions tell us all about your life. The question below is important because it helps us get to know you and in many cases helps us know what dog is the best foster match for you. You could be a wonderful applicant but we won't know unless you tell us here.
 

FOSTER AGREEMENT

  • Our foster caregivers take in our wonderful dogs on a temporary basis until permanent, homes can be found. Fosters assist in training our dogs and help them to overcome any fears or stresses caused by their abandonment or abuse. Most importantly, our fosters help us find homes for our dogs by getting them out into the community and introducing them around. This is a great way to get the dogs out of the kennels and into the loving environments they so desperately crave and deserve.

    This agreement reflects the commitment between Rescue Dog Village Guardian, Inc. and a foster for a dog or puppy. Having a written agreement will help establish a clear understanding between the foster and the rescue regarding guidelines and responsibility.

    PLEASE SELECT TO ACKNOWLEDGE YOU AGREE TO EACH STATEMENT.
