Foster a dog!
Foster us!
All of the dogs listed below are in need of Connecticut foster homes! Without your help, we cannot continue to rescue dogs. What it means to foster is that you graciously open up your home to one of these dogs and take care of them until they get adopted. The rescue provides for what the dog needs and gives you supplies such as a crate, collar, leash, food, and any medications. If you have to pay for anything for the dog you simply send us a receipt and we reimburse you! We handle making all veterinary appointments for our dogs, as well as covering the cost! All you need to do is follow the rules that we have laid out in the contract, give the dog love and attention, and drive them to any veterinary appointments they may have. You can apply to foster through the link at the bottom of the Applications page, and if you have any questions you can email us at allaboutthedogs2022@gmail.com or message us on Facebook!
Ken
Ken needs a foster home! Ken is about 3 years old and is a young dog that's very eager to please. He loves to run around, cuddle, and play! He's house and crate trained, but will need a structured home enviorment that can continually work on keeping up with his training, and respecting boundaries. A house with cats isn't ideal for Ken, and we think he would do okay with kids around 10 years old and up.
Gus
Gus is around 2-3 years old and came to us in very rough shape. He was a medical basket case, and has since greatly improved since being in our care. He's a good boy, but in typical chow fashion he can take a bit to judge you before he decides to be your friend, but once he's your friend he'll ask for some pets every now and then. Gus is dog friendly, in a very aloof way like he is with people, and doesn't seem to care about cats (he ignores them). He needs a new foster home to go too while we continue to work on his medical problems, getting heartworm treatment, re-checking his kidney values, as well as taking care of neutering him and removing a small mass by his eye.
Heather
Heather is a sweet lab mix that about 2 1/2 years old. She's currently living with other dogs, and loving it, as well as some cats that she has no problems with. We'd love to see her in a foster home with a confident dog. Heather is a bit cautious of people at first, she's not aggressive but is scared. She settles in with women more quickly than with men, so her ideal home would be an all female home or in a home with a very patient man who is willing to work to earn her trust. Heather would be fine to live in a home with teenaged age kids, and really would just love a home to feel safe and relax in while she goes through heartworm treatment. She'd do best in a rural or suburban neighborhood, a city enviroment would be a bit too much for this sweet girl.
Rosie
Rosie is a husky/german shepherd mix that's about 2 1/2 years old. She loves other dogs, is living fine with cats, and does well with children 7+ (they need to be steady on their feet). Rosie is a foodie, so she needs a foster home that will be able to keep an eye on her food intake, as well as make sure she gets enough daily activity so she maintains a healthy weight. Her ideal home enviroment would be in a rural or subhurban neighborhood with a securely fenced in yard that she can run around in. Despite her breed mix, Rosie is a relatively calm dog that at the end of the day just wants to spend time with you and be loved.
