Fostering saves lives

---

Fostering involves temporarily taking care of a dog in need while it waits for its forever home. Fosters provide love, care, and a safe environment until the dog is ready for adoption.

Fostering helps save lives by providing a temporary home for dogs who may otherwise be at risk of euthanasia or staying in a shelter. It’s a rewarding experience that helps both the dog and the foster family.

Fostering requires a safe home, a comfortable space for the dog, and the ability to administer  food, water, exercise, and affection. Each foster family is different, so we’ll match you with a dog that fits your environment and experience.

No! You don’t need to have previous experience with dogs to foster. We provide all necessary training, resources, and support to ensure you and the dog have a smooth experience.

The length of time varies depending on the dog and its adoption process. It could be anywhere from a few weeks to a year, but fostering is always temporary until the dog finds its forever home. We require a 30 day minimum for all fosters.

Legacy of Love 805 covers the cost of food, medical care, and supplies such as crates, toys and bedding. You’ll be responsible for providing a safe environment and offering love and attention to the dog.

We will provide you with resources and support to help manage any behavioral challenges. You can also reach out to our team for advice, and we may provide additional training or behavior assessments to ensure success.

Absolutely! If you fall in love with the dog and feel that it’s the right fit for your family, you can apply to adopt. However, we encourage fostering with the understanding that you are helping the dog find a forever home.

Yes, but we’ll work with you to ensure the foster dog is a good fit for your current pets. Some dogs may need time to adjust to other animals, and we provide guidance to ensure a smooth transition.

We are here to support you every step of the way! Our team is available for advice, questions, and any assistance you might need. You are never alone in your fostering journey. Every foster is set up with direct access to a foster coordinator, so all needs are met.

We will cover all medical costs, including vet visits. Some dogs may need to be transported to the vet, and you may be asked to assist with appointments, but we provide guidance and support throughout the process.

If you have the time and energy to provide a safe, loving home for a dog in need, fostering can be a great fit. It’s a rewarding experience that can help change a dog’s life, and you can always reach out to us for more information to help decide.
