Your Foster Preferences
Tell us about the type of dogs that would be the best fit for your household and lifestyle. Include any personality traits, behaviors, or physical characteristics that are important to you.
*
Are there any specific needs or preferences that would help make a foster a great fit for your household? For example: housetrained, compatible with children or other pets, activity level, etc.
*
Some foster dogs may need a little extra support. Which of the following situations would you currently feel comfortable helping with? Don't worry if the answer is "none" — many of our foster dogs do not have additional medical or behavioral needs and simply need a loving temporary home!
*
Dogs who need oral or topical medications
Dogs who are working on potty habits
Dogs who wear diapers, belly bands, or need extra potty support
Dogs who need help adjusting to being home alone
Dogs who are working on manners or confidence around other dogs/people
Blind or visually impaired dogs
Deaf or hearing-impaired dogs
Dogs who need injections
I’d be most comfortable with foster dogs who have more routine day-to-day needs
What kinds of support from Miri’s Haven would be most valuable in helping you feel comfortable and confident as a foster?
