Animal lovers who aren't quite ready to own a pet
24/7 have another alternative: becoming a "Foster" parent.
What is the role of a foster parent? What skills and home environment
do you need? Compassion, value and respect for pets are probably the
most critical traits one can possess. Tolerance for the unexpected (as
no two dogs are alike), spare time, patience, and lots of love are also
important qualities that many successful foster parents possess. Almost
Heaven pays ALL medical expenses for the pet while in a foster home.
Almost Heaven's Foster Program offers an excellent opportunity to decide
whether the pet is a good fit for your home as all foster parents are
given the first opportunity to adopt the Golden should they wish to
have the Golden become a permanent member of his/her family..
As a foster parent, you will help homeless pets
and also discover that your compassion helps you grow as a person. You
will rejoice in helping needy animals in your community, and the Goldens
of this world will be eternally grateful.
If you are interested in helping the Goldens and
becoming a Foster Parent Volunteer, please take a few minutes to fill
out the following 2 forms and mail them to Almost Heaven, original
signatures are required. Upon receiving your Adoption & Foster Home
Application and Foster Care Provider Agreement an Almost Golden representative
will contact you. All foster applications require a home and reference
check.
You must be 19 years of age or older to be a foster
parent.
