Adoption day is a moment of joy, pride, and often a few tears. As a foster carer, you’ve helped prepare your dog for this new beginning—and that’s something to celebrate.
- Ease into change. Keep things calm and positive in the days before adoption.
- Share what you know. Provide the rescue team with notes on your foster’s routines, likes, quirks, and any challenges.
- Send them with comforts. A blanket, toy, or bed that smells familiar can help ease the transition into their new home.
- Take pride. You’ve played a life-changing role. Without you, this new chapter wouldn’t be possible.
Though goodbyes can be bittersweet, fostering means saying goodbye so another hello can happen. Thanks to you, your foster dog’s future is brighter than ever.
And most importantly—feel proud. You gave love, time, and care when it was needed most. Because of you, a sled dog gets a fresh start.
