Not every foster journey is smooth sailing—and that’s perfectly normal. Some dogs may take longer to settle, show unexpected behaviours, or simply not be the right fit for your household.
Always reach out to the rescue team if you’re unsure, overwhelmed, or feel the match isn’t right. It’s not a failure—sometimes a different environment or foster is exactly what a dog needs to thrive.
- Ask for help. You’re never alone—our rescue team is always here to guide and support you.
- Be honest. If it’s not working out, that’s not a failure. It’s part of finding the right forever home.
- Take notes. Keep track of behaviours, progress, and challenges. This information is invaluable in helping us support the dog’s future placement.
- Stay positive. Even a short fostering stay gives a dog safety, love, and a stepping stone towards adoption.
Remember: every day in your care is a gift for your foster dog. Your effort matters more than you know.
