You're Invited: Learn More About Fostering Rescue Dogs at Halloween Event on Cape Cod
This event is the perfect place to meet dogs looking for homes if you're looking to add a furry friend to your family, whether through adoption or fostering.
Sandy Paws Rescue Inc., a dedicated foster-based dog rescue in Massachusetts, has announced a family-friendly Howl-O-Ween event that will have many adoptable pups currently being fostered in attendance. This event is the perfect place to meet dogs looking for forever homes if you're looking to add a furry friend to your family, or a great event to meet current foster families if you're interested in learning how to become a foster home for rescue dogs.
As a foster-based rescue based in Massachusetts, Sandy Paws Rescue doesn't have a shelter location, and visits with dogs are usually by appointment only, as their dogs reside in private homes or kennels until adoption. If you're interested in adopting a furry friend through Sandy Paws Rescue, this event is a great opportunity to meet many adoptable dogs all in one place without having to go between each individual foster home.
With so many foster families in one place, this is a great opportunity to learn more about life as a rescue dog foster parent. Have a few questions about fostering? Be sure to write them down or make a note in your phone so you can ask during the event. Sandy Paws Rescue recently shared some information on Facebook about their foster program for those interested in fostering, stating:
We are a state-approved and licensed rescue in MA. License #0272
Food and supplies are provided by Sandy Paws
Any medical expenses must be approved first, but are covered by Sandy Paws
Pickup is from the state-mandated isolation facility in Westport, MA
Foster homes can be located anywhere in MA or RI!
You do NOT need to be home 24/7. Most foster parents in our network work out of the home.
A fenced yard is not required! Apartment dwellers can foster too.
You will need to keep your foster dog until he/she is adopted. Average time in foster care is typically 2-6 weeks. You can help speed this up by providing photos and personality info for our team to share on social media!
We cannot accept breed-specific requests for fostering, as we don’t typically know the breed of our dogs. We can, however, typically accommodate if you are only able to foster puppies vs adults, or large dogs vs small.
Goodbye is the goal! Yes, it can be very difficult to say goodbye to your foster pup. But wouldn’t you rather experience a little heartbreak saying goodbye, as they go off to a loving family, versus a lot of heartbreak knowing you didn’t step up to save their life? A lot of our adoptive families stay in touch with their foster families and share updates!
Whether you're interested in opening your heart and home to a dog while they wait for their forever family to find them, or you are somebody looking to add a new member to your family, Sandy Paws Rescue's Howl-O-Ween event is the perfect way to learn more while having a great time.
