Become a Foster!
-Foster homes provide the daily care such as feeding, watering, exercise, and love to the foster dog. POLICIES AND PROCEDURES RELATED TO FOSTER DOGS
1. The Foster Home may request to foster a specific dog, but the Intake Coordinator and/or 2 active members must approve the dog prior to removing the dog from the pound or shelter. The Rescue tries to pull from the Putnam County Poun

d; however, we can take dogs from other pounds/shelters/owner surrender. If a foster pulls a dog without first getting it approved from the Intake/Foster Coordinator and another Board Member, then the foster just adopted a new family member.
2. Pull fees for dogs are paid for by the Foster Home or Intake Coordinator, and are reimbursed if a reimbursement form and receipt are turned into the Treasurer.
3. All vet care for the foster dog is paid for by the Rescue. Leipsic Veterinary Services or Ottawa Vet Clinic can provide the care. Leipsic Veterinary Services will also be used for low-cost spaying/neutering. We have accounts at all businesses. Ottawa Vet Clinic can be used in an emergency.
4. Basic vet care that is provided prior to going to the foster home: Microchip, DHLPP, Bordetella, rabies (if age appropriate), de-worming, heartworm testing and prevention, weight and age evaluation, treatment for fleas, f***l test and a general exam. Either the Foster Home or the Foster Home Coordinator will take the dog to the vet for the initial visit. Antibiotics or worm medications may be given without approval by the Board of Directors. Any other treatments such as dentals, surgeries, treatment for heartworm or additional medications will be approved by the President and/or the Board of Directors.
5. The Foster Homes need to e-mail [email protected] and notify the Adoption Coordinator of the dogs being in the Rescue, name, age, breed and what vet care has been provided. This information will be posted on the web sites and used if there are any inquires for the dog. Digital pictures also need to be emailed ASAP.
6. The foster home calls Leipsic Vet Services 943-2155 and schedules an appointment for the spay/neuter. All foster dogs will be spayed/neutered unless their health is at risk or their age is a factor. A licensed veterinarian will make the decision in this situation. Use Ottawa Veterninary Clinic if Leipsic Veterinary Service cannot do the procedure within a reasonable time frame. If under 4 months of age, dog may be adopted on a spay/neuter contrtact.
7. The Foster Homes also notifies the Adoption Coordinator at [email protected] if there are any changes in the dog such as housebroke or doing well in housebreaking, bad habits, not good with cats, any special needs, requires a fence or height of fence needed. Changes will be made on the web site and people will be told this information if they inquire about the dog.
8. Foster Home may assist in the adoption process by telephoning or emailing the potential adoptive family to answer their questions if the Adoption Coordinators request such help. The foster home may assist in the home visit if needed. The Adoptions Coordinators will notify and work with the Foster Home.
9. Transportation to the vet clinics may be provided by the foster home or the Transport Coordinator should be contacted if assistance is needed. Mileage will be partially reimbursed if the transporter turns in a reimbursement form to the Treasurer.
10.Food is provided by the foster home. If a foster home is unable to cover the cost of food for the dog then the rescue will provide the food. (This may change as the Rescue may start providing food for the dogs). If donations of food are received then this will be dispersed to the foster homes.
11. Equipment such as kennels, toys, crates, collars or leashes will be provided by the Rescue. The Foster Home Coordinator should be contacted for these items. Purchase of larger items such as kennels will need to be approved by the Board. (Storage available at Hollywood Dogs, Ottawa)
12. Foster homes are expected to work with their foster dog on housebreaking, leash manners and basic obedience skills. Obedience training classes will be provided for the foster homes upon request.
13. Foster homes will evaluate the dog’s behaviors by introducing them to a variety of situations, determining what behaviors may need work and socializing them. Foster homes are encouraged to take the dogs for walks, car trips and outings. Observe their behaviors with other adults, children, loud noises… Any aggression towards people or other animals should be reported immediately to the Foster/ Network Coordinator.
14. Grooming: PPP will pay for needed grooming such as removal of mats. Foster homes can bathe and do basic grooming. If a dog needs professional grooming, please contact Karen Hovest at 419-456-3339, or Country K9 Kennels at 419-604-1403 or Heaven Sent Kennels at 567-376-0693 for an appointment.

FOSTERS NEEDED!!!

We are getting a litter of seven puppies today. They are six weeks old and have been hand fed since they were two weeks old. They are now eating soft food. We are unsure of the breed mix, but supposedly mama was on the smaller side and they look like they may have lab in them as well. They are getting their first vaccinations in worming today.
We are looking for homes that may be willing to foster preferably two of the puppies, as this will help them to learn social behavior. We will keep the puppies in our rescue until they are at least eight weeks old and can be adopted out. This means they would be in foster care for 2 to 3 weeks.
If you are interested in fostering, and have not fostered for us before, please go to our website at www.putnampetpals.net to fill out a foster application. Approved foster homes will also be first in line to adopt any of the pups if they desire. 
All of the pups will be adopted out with spay/neuter contracts, which means that the adopter pays a $150 spay/neuter fee in addition to the adoption fee. Once the surgery has taken place, usually at 6 to 9 months old, the $150 will be reimbursed to the adopter.

Pictures of the puppies will be posted later today after they have been to the vet’s office and are moved to a temporary foster location.

Welcome to the Putnam Pet Pals website! We are a dog rescue group dedicated to finding loving homes for abandoned and neglected dogs.

**COURTESY POST**

This is Casper, a 6-year-old Boxer/Lab/Pit Bull mix, who is looking for a new home. Casper is up-to-date on his vaccines and heartworm prevention, and he is fixed. He loves sunbathing, toys and belly rubs. Casper weighs 85 pounds and sometimes doesn't realize his size when playing and riding in cars. He is also crate trained, housebroken and very treat motivated! If interested in meeting this dashing boy, please message us and we will put you in contact with the current owner. 🐾

Thank you!

Meet Bo and Luke. These two brothers are just around 1 year old and are Bloodhound type dogs. Bo has the red collar on while Luke has the blue collar on. So far, these two handsome boys have been good around other dogs and children. Bo and Luke are currently up to date on vaccines and have been outside dogs. These two are not at the shelter. If interested in checking either dog out, you can message the shelter with a phone number and we will forward your information onto the owner.
