Good evening, Lounge crew!!! This post is simply to clear up some questions on how our foster program works 🐶
Only a select few of our pups are available for our foster program. These are pups who are older and have been waiting 4 or more weeks to find their forever families, our non lounge pups, medical cases(stay tuned, we have one that will be posted tomorrow), or pups who are just not handling kennel life well.
As a foster, you will put in a foster application that will be gone over during the weekend(or sooner if its an urgent situation). We will provide a crate, leash, harness/collar, an "adopte me" bandana, or leash sleeve that you can use when out and about, a hand full of business cards that have our qr codes on the back of to hand out to anyone interested, and any medical treatment(antibiotics, salves, wipes ect) and cost of vet visits when taken to our vets in Mount Vernon. We ask that you provide food and treats for your foster baby.
Your job as a foster is to help provide basic training like potty training, leash training and the basic manners in a home. Our vollenteer foster coordinator stays in weekly(or more) contact with you to get updates on progress and new photos that we can post on our social media pages to help the pup be seen and bring attention to them and showcase their personalities(you can look back through our posts to see what those look like).
If your interested in a foster to adopt, you will need to put in an adoption application. There is a section with a "foster to adopt" option you can click but please know that most outright adoption applications will take priority. We asked that you give pup a minimum of 2 weeks to get to know your routine and the rules of your home. If it doesn't work out, ideally we ask that you give us time to find another placement by being handed over to our foster coordinator unless it is a danger use situation(dogs not getting along, pup has a prey drive, pup and kids not doing well together ect.). In the case of being switched to our foster system you will fall into the weekly updates and posts.
We are working on trying to get our links to work in our bio, until then Pease send us a message 🐶🐾
