Box 600278 THE GOAL A DIFFERENT BREED IS DEVOTED TO PROVIDING THE BEST POSSIBLE CARE TO ALL OF OUR ANIMALS. OUR GOAL IS TO SAVE AS MANY ANIMALS AS WE CAN REASONABLY HANDLE, REHABILITATE THEM IF NECESSARY, AND MAKE THEM AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION. WHAT IS A FOSTER PARENT? A FOSTER PARENT PROVIDES A TEMPORARY HOME AND POSSIBLE MEDICAL CARE FOR AN ANIMAL THAT IS NOT YET READY FOR ADOPTION DUE TO ILLNESS, INJURY, STRESS, OR AGE. WHY DO WE NEED FOSTER PARENTS? MANY TIMES WE TAKE IN ANIMALS THAT ARE SICK OR INJURED AND NEED SPECIAL ATTENTION TO GET HEALTHIER FASTER. WE RECEIVE MOTHERS AND THEIR BABIES AND EXTREMELY YOUNG KITTENS OR PUPPIES WHO NEED TO BE BOTTLE FED BECAUSE THE MOTHER IS UNAVAILABLE. WE ALSO SAVE THE ANIMALS THAT WILL BE *PUT DOWN* AT THE CITY SHELTERS OR STRAYS THAT NEED FOSTER HOMES. HOW LONG? A FOSTER ANIMAL COULD BE WITH A FOSTER PARENT INDEFINITELY. YOU WILL KEEP THE FOSTER IN YOUR CARE UNTIL A PERMANENT HOME IS FOUND. IT COULD BE WEEKS OR SEVERAL MONTHS. ARE THERE EXPENSES? WE PROVIDE FOR ALL MEDICAL EXPENSES INCLUDING HEARTWORM PREVENTATIVE AND FLEA/TICK TOPICALS. YOU PROVIDE THE FOOD, LITTER, TOYS AND TLC !!! (IF YOU ARE FOSTERING YOUR OWN PET, YOU WILL PROVIDE FOR ALL MEDICAL EXPENSES YOURSELF) HOW DO I BECOME A FOSTER PARENT? THOROUGHLY GO THROUGH THIS PACKET, AND PLEASE CALL IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. YOU WILL ALSO SIGN A FOSTER AGREEMENT CONTRACT, AND PROVIDE ALL MEDICAL INFORMATION ON THE ANIMAL TO ADB. WILL IT BE DIFFICULT TO LET THEM GO? OF COURSE, IT WILL BE DIFFICULT. YOU WILL DEFINITELY GET ATTACHED TO THE ANIMAL, BUT REMEMBER WHAT AN INCREDIBLE, GENEROUS, AND UNSELFISH ACT YOU ARE DOING. EVERY ANIMAL THAT YOU FOSTER IS GETTING AN OPPORTUNITY TO BECOME A HEALTHY, ADOPTABLE PET THAT MAY NOT HAVE OTHERWISE BEEN WITHOUT YOU. ARE THERE OTHER REQUIREMENTS FOR FOSTERING? WE ASK THAT YOU BRING THE ANIMAL TO AN ADOPT-A-PET ON SATURDAYS. YOU WILL NEED TO CONTACT THE ADOPTION COORDINATOR 48 HOURS IN ADVANCE IF YOU ARE COMING SO THAT WE HAVE A DOG CRATE/CAT CONDO AVAILABLE FOR THE ANIMAL AT THE ADOPT-A-PET. IF WE DO NOT ALREADY HAVE A PICTURE AND A BIOGRAPHY OF THE ANIMAL, WE ASK THAT YOU PLEASE PROVIDE ONE FOR US TO POST ON OUR WEBSITE. WE DO ASK THAT IF AT ALL POSSIBLE YOU STAY AT THE ADOPT-A-PET WITH THE ANIMAL TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS FROM INTERESTED PARTIES. IS THERE ANY PAPERWORK TO FILL OUT? YES !!!! IT IS IMPORTANT THAT WE KEEP ACCURATE RECORDS OF EACH AND EVERY ANIMAL IN OUR CARE. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR GETTING ALL INFORMATION TO THE ADOPTION COUNSELOR BEFORE ATTENDING THE FIRST ADOPTION DAY. |
