What Is A Foster Home?

A foster home is a temporary home for a Boston Terrier or Boston Terrier mix. The majority of Boston Terriers that come into rescue require a temporary foster home prior to being adopted by a new owner. Without foster homes, the majority of Boston Terriers that end up in shelters or are abandoned or given up by their owners would be euthanized. Foster homes are the backbone of any rescue program. Your becoming a foster home is most welcome.

How Long Could I Have A Foster Boston In My Home?

The answer to this question is typically unknown. The length of time a dog is in any foster home depends upon the area in which the dog is being fostered, the condition or age of the dog, and the circumstances that brought the dog into rescue in the first place. Foster home care can be as short as a day or two in the event of a transfer or for several months in the case of a dog that is rescued and who needs medical care or social rehabilitation or evaluation. As a foster home, YOU have the ability to tell us the type of foster dog you can care for and the length of time you can foster.
