Families and their kids
get to give a homeless
pup a loving home until
a permanent family can adopt it.
This teaches the kids to responsibility, service, sacrifice and
compassion. It is hard at first for the kids to let
go of a pup they have
cared for, but they learn
the satisfaction
of having saved a life.
We have many families contact us to help care
for an
unwanted dog because they love their
dogs so much. We provide the dog
carrier to crate-train the pup, we pay for all the veterinary needs
along with spay/neuter/shots/ and microchip. We also offer free training
for our foster homes to train the pup and their own dogs. We feel this
experience will make them better dog owners. |
Many moms have found
their vocation in life through fostering and
training dogs with their children. Julie, pictured here with her kids, not only enjoyed training her two Border
Collies and their foster dog Prince, but now runs her own 4-H youth dog training program in Southern Utah. Sharon, another mom, gets to utilize her social work degree and love of kids and
dogs to help her own kids and others learn the rewarding experience of
caring for and training a dog. Many families have told us that they love
fostering a dog, and would love to someday have their own sanctuary for
unwanted animals. Maybe that is a dream of many people who don't know
how to make it come true. Fostering a dog with your family can be a
small dream come true. |
Lovers of certain breeds of dogs, owners of businesses, and sponsors of events have joined us in caring for, helping with
adoption venues for the dogs, and advertising the program. Stan pictured
here with his foster dog Nick, came to us in Park City because he heard on the radio that we had a dog of his favorite breed, St. Bernard. So far he has fostered over 5
large breed dogs for us. Bad Ass Coffee Company owner Michel invites
all dog owners of Park City to come into her store with their dogs, and
loves for us to bring our dogs for adoption there. The Park City Arts
Festival staff invited us to set up a booth at their enormous Festival
last year. We were visited by over 100,000 people and made many new friends
and potential foster homes. |
