Fostering is one of the most important and needed volunteer jobs in rescue. Many rescues don't have a shelter to keep their animals in, they rely on volunteer households to take dogs in and have them live in a family atmosphere. Having the dog living in a family situation also gives better incite into the dogs personality, character, idiosyncrasies and exercise needs. This helps the rescue find the perfect match for the dogs forever home.
Cross our paws Rescue and Dogwood rescue are both in Vancouver. They always need volunteer foster families. Fostering is also a great opportunity to find out if you are really ready to adopt a dog. Most rescues will cover food and vetting expenses while the animal is in your care and will give you first chance to adopt the dog if you think it is the perfect match for your family.

Every family that takes in a foster dog makes room for another dog to be pulled out of the shelter system!
