I am so excited for this one! I go over the different ways you can be prepared for bringing a foster home, how to give them structure, and the first things you should be doing with them! I hope you get so much value from this.

Good summary, but it would be helpful to hear what you do when a new foster dog does experience separation anxiety - especially the first few nights in the crate (howling, whining, and barking).

Picking up our 1st foster dog today from the county shelter. He was E listed & it was to be done yesterday, but instead he got neutered & saved in the last hour. Thank you for this information. It was so helpful! I also just watched introducing dogs, as we do have our own dog.

We have our second ever foster dog and I'm so used to fostering kittens and know way more about cats than dogs. Thank you so much for this! Our first foster dog was wonderful and we considered adopting her. Our second foster dog has been a little harder to figure out. I really appreciate information like this!

Awesome video. Thank you. Been wanting to foster for a while but I’m sooo nervous because I work 3 days a week 45 minutes away from home and live alone and not sure how they’ll do home alone all day. I fostered one for 2 weeks while she recovered from surgery but had my niece pet sit her but she’s can’t help anymore as she’s busy with school & work

A Kong stuffed with wet food and frozen is an excellent distraction for them in the crate. (several Kongs in rotation) Double leashing new dos is critical so that they cannot escape. Using a slip lead and Martingale collar is what we recommend. A GPS locator for the collar should be supplied with every foster dog.

@@TaylorDomer just got him actually today! I couldn't pick the dog. I ended up with a pit bull mixed with something else. He is 1 years old. I was super nervous. But so far so good. He is the sweetest thing. Only thing is he has heartworms so he cant walk no longer than 10 mins every hour. So that sucked since the weather is nice. I looked into a dog stroller or cart but those are expensive. I am only fostering until monday

Maybe you could call the shelter and ask to pick up the supplies beforehand?

@TaylorDomer 3 жыл бұрын

You can definitely make that work too! I think most places do it that way actually. Have an idea of where you would like the dogs area to be (crate, bed, etc) Then once you bring the pup into your house, let them sniff around and get acquainted while you set up that area. It will work perfectly!

With a foster dog don’t free feed your personal dog. Food possessiveness can cause serious issues between dogs.

This is a 42inch crate! I think it’s a good size to have around for foster dogs because it will fit most large dogs and then of course any smaller fosters you may get too 🙂 good luck with your foster!
