We are here to support you and your foster dog all along the way. You only need provide the home and the love.
How long will I be a fostering?
We aim to place our dogs into adoptive homes as soon as they are ready for it, but this can take time, based on medical and behavioral issues. We ask that you commit to at least 4 months of foster care, allowing the dog time to rest and recover. If after 4 months you cannot continue to foster and the dog has not been adopted, we will work to find a new foster. At least a 4 month commitment is required.
What do I do if I see a dog in bad shape?
Sadly, there are a lot of dogs in bad condition here in the Limon Province. If you see a dog that needs help, the best thing you can do is contact us via WhatsApp and report the dog. If you are able to provide a foster home, we can act faster. As a foster home rescue, we can only take on new cases if we have foster ready to receive them.
