We save their lives.....They save our hearts
If you are considering buying a dog, try fostering first. It gives you a feel about caring for a dog of your own but no expenses. Fostering can turn out to be a rewarding experience for both you and the dog.
The dog will reap the benefits of a safe and loving shelter and you can learn to appreciate the world around you from the dog's point of view. Many people don't know what their true lifestyle or energy is until they have a dog.
Fostering can be a great prelude into being a dog owner. Your own personal fulfillment that you helped a homeless animal find a forever home will last forever. The experience of fostering a dog can be a life changing experience for us too.

difficult to fill. We have new dogs coming into our rescue frequently. While the dogs
we have now are loved and well cared for, our dream is to have a foster home for
each and every dog. Many of our foster parents are taking care of more than one dog
at a time now so to be able to place each and every dog in their very own foster home
would enable our foster parents to spend even more time training and helping these
homeless animals.
Being a foster parent costs you nothing but time and love. All our veterinarian
expenses and grooming needs are paid for by the rescue. All we ask is that you
provide your foster with time, love and attention, food and water, and a safe
environment in which to live until he or she is adopted into their forever home.
What you get back is more rewarding than what can be put into words. People often shy away from fostering because they are afraid they will get attached to the dog. Yes, you will get attached, but the giving up part can be easier than you think. Consider that your fostered dog is going to its forever home, and there will be another homeless dog to take its place. If you never have had a dog, consider fostering first. You will then know if you are ready to make the lasting commitment to having your own special friend. Fostering can prove to be a positive experience for both human and canine. It can be a wonderful introduction to being a dog owner, and the personal fulfillment of knowing you played an instrumental role in helping a dog transition from shelter to a forever home can last forever.
There are some things to be considered should you decide that you want to become a foster parent. First, you must be at least 21 years old. Foster dogs must be transported to our adoption events every Saturday. Sometimes returning a dog after you have become "attached" can be emotionally difficult for some foster parents. Foster dogs must be transported to and from the vet office for whatever medical issue that may arise. You will need to monitor the dogs in your care. A reasonable amount of time away from a foster dog is not more than 8 hours.
Consider opening up your heart to one of our wonderful "fur babies", becoming a part of their transition from homeless to forever homes. Remember, Max's Pet Connection provides the veterinary care, grooming, and medicine for the foster animals and lots of support for the foster parents. Foster parents provide the shelter, food, love and attention to their fosters.
