FOSTER HOMES NEEDED

Fosters needed for dogs with kennel cough. Kennel cough is a bronchitis characterized by a harsh, hacking cough which most people describe as sounding like "something stuck in my dog's throat." It is analogous to a chest cold for humans and dogs usually recover with antibiotics and cough tabs over a two week period in foster. Foster homes for these dogs cannot have a pet dog, because kennel cough is contagious. We ask our foster "parents" to provide food, water, walks and lots of love to their "foster kids." Our veterinary clinic will provide needed medications and the foster dog will need to come to the clinic for a two week foster check.
At that time most will be healthy and can be put up for adoption.

If you would like to foster any of the dogs below, please fill out and submit a foster application. Other dogs are available for foster, so after you fill out your application we can arrange for you to come to the shelter and meet your foster match! Available dogs include:

BIG BOY - A068235 A 47# white and black neutered male 7-month-old German Shorthaired Pointer/Labrador Retriever mix whose previous foster family said he's an active, exhuberant fellow who is crate trained and who loves to play and jog with you.

MIDNIGHT - A069676 Eight-month-old Midnight is an on the move type of gal. She is a free spirit that enjoys living life to it's fullest. She's a small black Labrador Retriever/Chow Chow mix.

PETER - A011420 An eleven-year-old, 61# German Shepherd mix, Peter is a calm, well-mannered, black and tan neutered male. He loves attention and does not mind the company of felines!

TRAVIS - A069524 Travis is a social and an outgoing brown and white boxer mix! He loves to play and will do well in an active home. This 47# sweetheart is only one year old and has many years of love ahead of him.

JOSIE - A069382 Two-year-old Josie is a timid little flower waiting to bloom. She is bashful and needs a foster home dedicated to building her confidence level. A 32# female Beagle mix, Josie would love to regain her health with your family.
