The main goal of fostering an animal is to make them adoptable. This involves more than just providing shelter; it is your responsibility to show the dog how to be a pet and what it is like to live in a typical home situation. Most of these animals are strays and have come from unknown and likely unstable situations. You play a vital role in the rehabilitation and adoption process for the animal you foster. They need your help to become healthy, trusting, well-behaved socialized companions for their forever-home.

For Fosters of Dogs
When fostering a dog through MARF it is necessary for the dog to be indoors at least half the time for socialization and house breaking purposes. It is understood that they may need to be outside during work hours, this is acceptable as long as they are not chained up and adequate shelter is provided outside.
Are you willing to keep the dog inside your home?
