LOOKING FOR EXPERIENCED DOG HANDLERS FOR NEW FOSTER PROGRAM!
Yup, we are going to try the foster home program....again. Although we did not have much luck before, we are hoping for some new vibes that will help us, to help some of the VRC dogs that are struggling.
Let's be honest, kennel life can ruin a dog. And sometimes no matter how much you try to "control" the environment, it can still "break a dog." That's where you come in.
We are looking for a carefully selected group of experienced dog people that can foster some of the dogs that are struggling. None have shown any human aggression though some have displayed some dog reactiveness (but this can come from kennel anxiety)
You do NOT have to have any formal dog training or behavioral experience but you DO have to have good dog sense and at least be able to read dog body language, etc. You MUST also have a calm and structured home environment for the sake of these dogs' well being.
You can have other dogs but they need to be well behaved and not reactive towards other dogs (our dogs are all crate trained). No cats, small dogs or children under 5ish (give or take and depends on your child)
You DO NOT have to be local. We will treat each potential foster home as if we were doing an adoption and bring the dog to you when we do a homecheck :)
These "training/foster homes" will be participating with us each week via Zoom (or a similar platform) for regular training classes and updates. Our hope is that, together we will be able to make these "underdogs" more adoptable and taking yet another step into improving their lives.
This new foster program will fall under our new and upcoming training program, "Woman's Best Friend" (the non-macho way to train your dog)
If you are interested and feel that your would be a good fit for this new program, email us at: [email protected]
(Boppy is a bulldog that will be in this program. Ain't she cute??)
