How Our Foster
Progam Works
Fostering is a
very rewarding experience. Without foster families
we couldn't provide the service we do for the homeless
cocker spaniels who need us. There is nothing more
amazing than to see broken spirited cockers come to
life. It is such a wonderful experience to see a dog
flourish from a scared and timid cocker to confident
and happy or from sick and frail to strong and healthy.
When you witness this amazing transformation first
hand you will never forget the experience.
Foster parents are an essential resource
for animal rescue for two reasons. First, since we
do not have a kennel facility fosters allow us to help
more cockers that would otherwise have to be turned
away due to lack of space. Second, fostering allows
the dogs more one on one human interaction which is
helpful for dogs in need of training. This makes the
dogs more appealing to potential adopters.
As a foster family you will have
a huge impact on the placement of the rescue animals
because you will get to know them so well. You will
be able to provide essential information to help us
ensure that the dogs are placed in homes that well
suited to them. Letting go sometimes is the hardest
part but is also a joyful time too. Not only does that
open the door for the next rescue animal in need but
also you will know that you made a difference for a
cocker in need.
The foster process can last from
a few short weeks to several months for some of our
rescue kids. Our rescue covers all vet bills and grooming
costs. All we ask you to do
is provide a loving, nurturing home to help mend these
little ones' spirits. If you think you have what it
