FOSTERING SAVES LIVES!
As a foster-based rescue, our biggest need is fosters. We have all kinds of dogs for all kinds of people and families. It’s absolutely worth every 120% that you put into it.
Fosters – especially large dog fosters – are always needed. We provide everything (food, supplies, and medical care). You provide love and a safe environment for our amazing dogs to start their next chapter.
When you foster for Miracle Foundation-SD, we provide the following:
- All veterinary expenses
- Food and supplies (collar, leash, tags, flea medication, etc.)
- Basic behavioral training
- A private Facebook group with other fosters and volunteers that provide guidance and support
Responsibilities include:
- Providing daily in-home care of our rescue pets
- Provide in-home medical care to our rescue pets as needed and take the pet to their required veterinary appointments at our approved rescue veterinarians.
- Prepare our rescued animals for the transition into their adoptive homes by providing basic obedience, potty training, and socialization (introducing rescued pets to a variety of environments)
- Provide daily exercise and engagement, as needed
- Assist in the marketing of your foster pet by taking progress pictures of the fostered pet for social media and online adoption sites and preparing pet bios
- Sharing foster pets via social media
- Take foster pets to adoption events and participate in adoption events
- Take foster pets to meet and greets with prospective adopters
- Have a reliable vehicle with room for a crate, current car insurance and a valid driver’s license. You also need to have an understanding of responsible and secure animal transport.
This is an unpaid volunteer opportunity. Our rescue does reimburse for mileage according to the IRS Non-Profit Standard Mileage Rate.
