Thank You for Considering the Lifesaving Act of Becoming a Foster
A foster home serves as a temporary residence for these Gentle Giants while they await placement in a forever home. Embracing the role of a foster, you will experience laughter, tears, love, and reciprocal affection. It is one of the most fulfilling roles in rescue work, where you nurture, train, cherish, and heal a wounded soul, making it whole again. Even if you doubt your impact, for your foster Dane, you create a life-changing difference.
When you foster with us, we provide:
- Coverage for all medical expenses at our designated veterinary clinic
- Crate (if necessary)
- Food and Treats
- Toys
- Collars and leashes
The process of becoming a foster closely mirrors that of becoming an adopter, starting with an application accessible by clicking the button below.
Please be advised that a distance requirement is in place for foster homes. They are expected to be within 100 miles of Pleasant Hill, Missouri, to accommodate vet appointments.
Fostering FAQs
What if my foster does not work out?Because of unknown history on some of the Danes we take in, sometimes things don't work out. If this turns out to be the case, you would not be stuck with the Dane. We will move the Dane to another foster within a few days of notification.
Will I become attached to my foster dog?Yes, of course!! Great Danes bond quickly and they give so much back in return for your attention. Being a foster home is extremely rewarding, but you should keep in mind that some rescue dogs may not be housebroken, may be ill, or may have had little socialization or obedience training. In spite of these challenges, our foster homes have found that when given a chance, Great Danes not only quickly improve, they flourish.
What are the Responsibilities of a Foster Family?
- Provide a safe, clean, and caring environment for the dog.
- Provide food, water, exercise and socialization as appropriate.
- Monitor any medical and/or behavioral problems and provide any medications as directed.
- Assist with transport to/from adoption events and/or vet appointments.
