Hey folks:
We are in need of a couple more foster homes. We have lost a couple due to family, illness, personal reasons so are a bit short.
IF you are interested in fostering, please read our fostering manual FIRST. It should be on the website. Then if that hasn't frightened you off, fill out a fostering application and send it in.
DON'T offer to foster if you have never owned a pug or want to foster "to try out what pugs are like". And be honest with yourself and with us about what you can and cannot handle. Not all of our dogs are the easiest things to deal with in the world. Some will try your patience. Fostering also won't give you a leg up on adoption until you've been a foster parent for at least 6 months.
And if your resident dog(s) have issues (anxiety, fear aggression, horrific markers), expect that behaviour to get worse and not better with a foster in the house.
IF you have special skills--GREAT! We certainly need folks with skills with behavioural dogs, but we also just need folks who can look after a pug who may have some health issues, some house training needs, some socialization gaps, etc.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact me or Kim Walkem (our fostering coordinator).
You will be required to have all the things done that we do for adoptive homes (reference checks, home visit, interview, etc) and you will need to be willing to sign a fostering contract.

Is there a number where I can fax my application to foster? Or should they only be mailed to Kim Walkem's address? Thanks!  |

Actually, the address has changed to my home address as I'm now the fostering coordinator. Mark just uploaded the new fostering manual so if you go to that, you can get the new address. Or send me an email and I'll send you my address. No fax here. Well, there is, but it's a dinosaur and doesn't always work so snail mail or scan and email to me is best. blanche.axton@gmail.com |

Thanks Hilary. Louise did scan and email it--but it's missing a few pages. I've emailed her to let her know. |
