if you are a foster home what rescues do you foster for? post links to their websites if available.

i'm currently a foster home for NBRAN(National Brittany Rescue and Adoption Network)website here (http://nbran.org/)

i was a foster home for a husky rescue, but they never call me to ask me to take any dogs. :confused:

i'm looking for a great dane or other husky rescue to foster for. a lot of rescues won't let me be a foster home because we don't have a fenced yard. we are fencing our yard in this summer though.

I would love to foster dogs one day, once I get my yard fenced in. Of course, I need to find out what my family is going to do with my mother/my home.

Good luck and thanks for fostering!! :D

Hope I could help you out a bit!

Have you ever thought of fostering for your local shelter? I'm sure they have Huskies and Great Danes every once and a while :)

thanks zoomer! i'll check out the links! :D

unfortinatly the shelter close to me doesn't want my help. :( i offerd to donate 2 50lb bags of purina pro plan dog food. they didn't want it. i've tried to call them,e-mail, and go to the shelter to ask about being a foster home. they never return my calles or say they don't need anyone at the time. i think that is VERY odd. all their kennels are full, but they don't need foster homes? i also offerd to make them a website. they said they do just fine without one. :confused: :confused:

If Mandy weren't dog aggressive we'd be fostering. We could foster puppies, but we hardly get them in at the humane society and rescues here - they all go to the shelter and our shelter doesn't do foster homes.

I don't think I could foster, it would be way too hard on Tango (she only likes certain temperaments) and even if I could I'd probably have a tough time giving most of them up...

We did foster for about a year (we had 6 dogs at various times during that period). It was a wonderful experience. But we did run into some problems, and I probably won't do it again until I have a fenced in backyard. But, if I ever get a place with a fenced in backyard, I will definitely do it again. Both Ginger and I enjoyed it very much.

We foster but not for a rescue. The whole city knows my mom as the crazy animal woman and I can't tell you how many times we've come home to dogs in our kennel or one of our backyards or cats in cages or under laundry baskets. Right now we have 2 cats that were left abandoned in an apartment and Sally a 9 week old Rottweiler puppy.

That is odd :confused: Doesn't sound like a very good shelter :(
