| Becoming a Foster Parent |
Thank you for wanting to foster our homeless Pugs. This is one area of Pug Rescue of San Diego County
(PRSDC) that is extremely important and can be very rewarding. Foster parents provide key information
about a Pug's health, temperament, and behavior.
In order to be considered as a foster parent we require that you complete a Foster Application and
join PRSDC as a member. Send the Foster Application, Membership Form, and member dues to our P.O. Box.
Upon receipt of the application, allow 4-6 weeks for a PRSDC board member to call you and schedule a
house check. Once the house check is done, we will place you on the list of potential foster homes and
will be in touch when we need help.

Our goal is to place the Pug as soon as possible. The average stay in a foster home is one or two days. There may be times that it takes longer to place a Pug or when a Pug needs to have extensive medical care before it can be placed. Older, sicker Pugs take longer to place. Some of our foster parents have had Pugs for as long as two months.
We have a special arrangement called "Long-Term Fosters." Sometimes our foster parents agree to provide a "permanent" home for a particularly old or sick Pug who cannot be placed. They become a long-term foster home in this case. We pay all medical expenses for the Pug, but the foster parents provide a home for the duration of the Pug's life. This is for very special cases and is not expected of any of our foster parents.
We never know when a Pug will be coming to PRSDC, therefore, you may be called to foster without much notice. It is okay to say you cannot foster at this time, but you should rethink becoming a foster parent if you are traveling a lot or not home for most of the day.
Foster parents are extremely important to our work. We would like to thank you in advance for your sacrifice of time, sleep, and space. You will not be disappointed!
