OUR GREATEST NEED

Would you like to foster American Eskimo dogs? Please read on.

You might say:

“I can’t foster, I will get too attached.”

“I would keep every dog I fostered!”

“It would be too sad to see the foster dog leave.”

 

Due to overcrowding at shelters and many requests to help save homeless dogs, we are in desperate need of foster homes. If you can foster, here’s how you help:

1. When you foster, you will give a homeless dog another chance at life -- you will save an Eskie’s life. AER does not have a building and we work out of our homes, so foster families are needed to house the Eskies.

2. A foster family is a “vessel” for the Eskies until they are adopted to their forever homes. Foster families play a major role in bringing the Eskie from a dangerous situation to foster care, and finally to his or her new home.

3. You will receive gratification knowing you saved a dog’s life, and that you played a critical role in helping place a homeless dog in his or her forever home! If we don’t have a place to house them, we can’t save them.

4. You will help a family adopt a new family member – families are so happy when they adopt their new dog. You, the foster family, helped place that dog in his or her new home. What a sense of accomplishment and a significant contribution to the community – that you helped take care of and place a homeless dog.

5. Volunteering is a community project. Get the entire family involved. Children love to help take care of pets. Working with American Eskimo Rescue counts as volunteer hours too!

6. Eskie Rescue pays for all of the necessary medical work. The foster family helps transport the dog to adoption day events and vet visits. You treat the dog as if it were your own. If you wish, we can also help pay for dog food.

7. We would love to have your involvement as a foster family. Help us achieve the AER mission: To save the lives of unwanted American Eskimo dogs and place them in loving homes. Eskies know when they have been saved – your foster dog will be so thankful to you and so will we.
