Helping Paws will furnish a crate fore crate-training. You must be able to care for and socialize a foster puppy. Socialization involves exposing the puppy to a variety of experience and public situations on a frequent basis. The puppy may live with you up to 2 years. The puppy must be taught to eliminate both on and off leash.
Foster homes provide appropriate veterinary care on a routine basis.
We appreciate the many foster homes that provide this care as a tax-deductible donation to Helping Paws. However, Helping Paws will reimburse veterinary costs to foster homes who submit receipts. Helping Paws will cover the cost of hip evaluations and routine eye exams. Commitment to attend weekly training class at the Helping Paws Training Center in Hopkins is required. Transportation to the classes is provided by the foster home.
