What does it take to foster?

We basically have many of the same requirements for fosters as we do potential adopters. These requirements include that you:

  • Be an adult with responsibility for maintaining a household (no students).
  • Have a fenced yard (some exceptions made for cocker loving apartment dwellers)
  • Have current identification showing address and/or phone number.
  • Have the knowledge and consent of all adults living in household.
  • Be able and willing to spend the time and money necessary to provide for the training, medical treatment and proper care for the pet (Cocker Spaniel Rescue will reimburse any expenses).
  • Be willing to take the dog to scheduled adoption days (or be available to arrange transport with one of our other volunteers)
  • Provide an environment for the animal that will keep it safe and secure.
