this is so sad

I would have the first 2 if I could

How do people become fosterers?

If you want to become a fosterer, you need to get in contact with a rescue who foster their dogs out.
Usually one close to you is the best idea, so you can be homechecked, and go and meet the dogs.

Ok thanks Reason I ask is because I'm not too far from Rochdale and might be able to foster #2.

You could give one of the numbers a ring!
It's worth a try!!

The lab my have a place by the way

is it hard to get accepted to foster if you already have a dog?

Not at all!
I don't know any fsteres without dogs!
My friend lesley has 5 of her own, and fosters!

As long as your dogs get on with others, and your garden is secure, and you pass a homecheck, your usually fine!
You don't just get any dog - dogs are matched up to fosterers. Obviously sometimes it doesn't work out though!

i think these cases r so sad and would love to help but unfortunately i live to far away

How long does it usually take to be accepted as a fosterer? I'd love to help one of these dogs but would it happen in time? Oh and is there an email address to contact the rescue in Rochdale about this? (our phone is being tempermental today )
