Thinking of Fostering?
Do you want to help out a rescue but don't want to commit to adopting a dog or donating? Are you looking for a companion but not ready to commit to the emotional and financial commitment for a dog?
Having a network of fosters at Full Circle Rescue is essential as we don't have a facility for our dogs. It allows dogs to be saved from shelters and learn to adjust to a life at home. If you're considering opening your home for a rescue dog, know that it is a very important and a fulfilling role.
