Foster Commitments
Rescue dogs have often been through a lot of stress and may not have had a stable environment. We emphasize routine and training in a positive manner, using positive reinforcement training methods (resources can be provided). We do NOT endorse or allow harsh corrections, choke or pinch collars, rolling, pinning, hitting or other punitive forms of training with any of our foster dogs. Do you agree and accept this?*

YesNo
NHDRS does not believe in confining dogs to crates for extended periods of time or tethering a dog for an extended period of time. At no time to we agree with a dog being chained or tethered unsupervised. Do you agree and accept this? (Extended period of time would be classified as 8+ hours)*

YesNo
Under what circumstances would you crate/confine or tether a foster dog?*
Do you feel that you can provide a routine and the necessary basic training in a positive manner? (This may include, but is not limited to: basic house manners, crate training, building confidence in shy or fearful dogs, potty training, and some others)*

YesNo
There are some basic behaviours we strive to achieve with all of our foster dogs. These include crate training, potty training, not jumping up to greet, and a sit command. Can you commit to working on these behaviours with your foster dog?*

YesNoI'll do my best but I may need help
Do you have any previous experience you feel may be relevant to becoming a foster home? (i.e. training experience, canine first aid, veterinary knowledge, extensive research, etc.)
Are you able to take your foster dog to a veterinarian for medical care, spay/neuter, or vaccinations of needed? (If not, arrangements can be made)*

YesNo
Upon receipt of an application, it is reviewed by the directors. If it looks like a good fit, it is then forwarded to the foster home to review. Since the foster home will have the best idea of an individual dogs needs, we feel that contact between the applicants and the foster home is ideal. Are you willing to act as a contact regarding your foster dog?*

YesNo
If for any reason you are unable to keep the foster dog, you may notify Northern Hope Dog Rescue, and we will make arrangements for the dog to be placed into another home. Please be prepared to give your foster dog time to settle in. Do not expect them to want to play, or even interact with any other pets - or even with you - to begin with. Some dogs are very scared or unsure when they move homes and need some time and personal space. Do you agree and accept this?*

YesNo
When will you be able to take in a foster dog?*
