Foster Care*

When in foster care, if I find someone wanting to adopt, the shelter must be notified immediately and all potential adopters must complete adoption applications.
When in foster care, it is possible that animals may develop an illness that would require that I transport them immediately to the shelter where they may be treated or euthanized at the discretion of the shelter veterinarian.

The purpose of this questionnaire is NOT to quiz you on your capabilities as a dog owner, but to find out what kind of animals you are willing to foster, how often you are willing to foster, etc., so that we can find the best possible matches between dogs and their foster parents. Answering "no" to a question does not necessarily preclude you as a foster parent; it just influences your pairing.

Adult dogs (healthy)
Adult dogs (ill/injured)

Kittens

The Española Valley Humane Society does not believe in chaining dogs or letting them roam (i.e., outside without a fence). Is this a problem?

Are you willing to take a dog who is hyper, jumps, chews or needs training?

Most dogs and puppies are not housebroken. Will this be a problem?

Would you be interested in fostering a nursing mother cat or dog?

If so, with how many puppies or kittens?

Are you interested in fostering puppies or kittens with Ringworm? Ringworm is a potentially contagious, but non-life-threatening disease that is very common in shelter animals.

Have you had a dog with parvovirus or distemper in your home or yard in the past year?

If yes, what happened to them?
