Foster care is the most crucial yet scarcest ingredient in canine rescue. Without available foster homes, many dogs are unable to be rescued. For the dogs in animal control facilities, this often means death.

The responsibilities of doggie foster care

A foster companion must provide a safe, secure, stable environment, and, most importantly, the love needed to nurture those dogs back to their happy, healthy selves. Some dogs require special care, such as post medical attention, increasing weight or strength, socializing, building trust, exercise, and fun. Some dogs just require you.

North Bay Canine Rescue & Placement will provide all the legwork needed to place the dogs. We will cover all medical and animal control fees. Supplying food for dogs in foster care can be quite costly; however, if supply dog food make the difference between having or not having a foster home, we will make do what we can to defray the cost of food.
