Foster Care for Sick Dogs
If you can't adopt permanently but can provide special health care, love, and comfort to a dog that needs medical attention, you can be a Foster Family.
What is Foster Sick Dogs?
Foster Sick Dogs is a program designed for those who can't adopt permanently but can provide special health care, love, and comfort to a dog that needs medical attention.
Some dogs in our shelter are in fragile health situations, and staying in the shelter can complicate or worsen these situations. Having a temporary home, attentive to their needs, can make a big difference between prolonging suffering or offering dignity in their final days.
It's not a permanent adoption: when the dog improves or when possible, they may be referred for adoption or another solution, depending on the animal's condition.
Why become a Foster Family?
By temporarily fostering, you help the shelter reduce the daily load, allowing sick animals to receive closer and more personalized care.

The shelter provides information about the specific care needed (medication, special diet, veterinary observations, etc.), and the Foster Family will assist the animal on behalf of the shelter.
