[quote=Anonymous]I foster for Big Fluffy Dog Recue.  The rescue is not exactly local (based in TN), but has an extensive foster network up Mid-Atlantic to the North-East, and out to the Mid-West.  The dogs come into the kennel down south, and stay there (or with a southern foster) for vetting.  When a dog has been with a foster, there is A LOT of information about what you're getting (although something like say, a puppy is fairly interchangeable).  When they've been in a kennel, there is less.  Transport to the NoVA region is always some ungodly hour, usually on Saturday (like 2:00 AM), or occasionally, on Sunday (also some ungodly hour).

Being a foster requires filling out an application and getting approved.  You will likely have your choice of dogs or puppies, as there are always too many of those, and not enough fosters.  There will ALWAYS be a huge demand for fosters with no other dogs, as there are lots of dogs that are wonderful with people, often wonderful with cats (for instance), just not with dogs.    There is also a (closed) foster group that you will have access to once you become a foster, and there is tons of collective wisdom there that can help you through the process of fostering your dog.

If you have any specific questions, I would be happy to answer them.[/quote]
