Virtual fostering is a fun and productive way to help our dogs get out of the stressful shelter environment. This can be as simple as time in one of our meet and great rooms, spending time in our play yard or a walk on our trails. Or, it can mean going out for a doggie date for a pup cup, a ride with a pup's head hanging out a window, or a walk on a public trail. This is not only good for the dog, but allows us to gain information on our animals when they are out of the shelter environment. Giving them an opportunity to show off for their public is a bonus!
Although the number of animals we take in has decreased in recent years, the dogs that find their way here sometimes stay longer due to health and behavior issues or simply their age. We are grateful to partner with The Grey Muzzle Organization who is funding the expansion of our virtual foster program with an emphasis on senior pups. This funding gives us the opportunity to highlight our senior dogs and speed up the adoption process for them.
