As often tends to happen around the holidays (why is that?) we are being inundated with boxers joining our rescue program. We need to grow our foster network so we can continue to help boxers in need. Fostering is fun and so rewarding. Have you considered sharing your home with a boxer, but aren't quite ready for a permanent commitment? Are you thinking about adding second dog to your family, but would like to know what it would be like before jumping in? Fostering could be perfect for you! Some of our foster families have found that they love having two dogs just "some of the time". Fostering works out great because the resident dog gets a "buddy," for a few days, a few weeks, or a few months (depending on the situation).
If you are interested in joining our foster network, please contact Suzanne Hicks.
