Our Foster Procedure
Our foster procedure is similar to our adoption procedure. It starts off the same. However, we prefer that our fosters live in the following counties: Oakland, Macomb, St Clair., as the vets/groomers/trainers we work with are in those areas.
Once your application is received, we will proceed with a veterinary reference check. In your application, you are asked to provide your veterinarian’s name and number. You are also asked if it is okay for us to contact your veterinarian within the adoption application. During this reference check, we do ask if all of your current and past pets have been up to date on their vaccines, spayed or neutered and kept on heartworm preventive. Please make sure that if you use more then one veterinarian that you include all names and numbers.
Once the veterinary reference check has been completed, we will contact your landlord (if you rent), once your vet and landlord check (if applicable) are approved we will proceed with a home visit. We, as a rescue, want to make sure our pets are going to safe and loving homes. During our home visits, we want to see where the pet we’ve loved, nurtured and watched grow into an adoptable pet is going to be calling home. We will check the fence in the backyard to make sure it is secure, that the bathroom and kitchen are free of things which could harm a pet and that in general, the home is pet friendly and safe.
Once the home visit is completed and approved, we set up a meet and greet For a meet and greet, one of our volunteers, will set up a time to either come to your home with the foster pet or make arrangements at a place to meet.
You will house the animal as if it were your own. Food, crate, other necessities will be loaned to you, if you need them. You will be responsible to set up needed vet/groomer appointments with an approved vet/groomer from our list. A list will be provided.
If you are fostering during a quarantine period and the animal is not yet listed, you will be asked to take pictures and send them with a bio for the website.
If at any time during your fostering period you decide you would like to adopt your foster, please contact the group and make arrangements with a board member to finalize an adoption contract.
Thank you for considering fostering. It's a very rewarding job and not everyone can do it.
