When it comes to fostering, it seems like every group is different. I foster for United Yorkie Rescue. They have a list of things they will pay for and a list they won't. I never have to worry about vet bills and medicines if they are necessary - UYR takes care of those. But if they come to us all matted, after the initial grooming, I am responsible for having the pups groomed. I also pay for all food, treats, toys, etc.

If you are thinking of fostering, talk to your vet and ask if they'll give you a discount for a foster. I did and I get 5%, which doesn't seem like much but every bit helps.

I'm still working on the hardening my heart when it comes time to adopt them out to someone, but I can't NOT do this. If I don't or you don't - who will? Thanks so much for even considering it. It's a really tough, wonderful job. And you get so much more out of it than you would ever think.
