The work of rescue
A shelter label is only a start.
A dog’s history, health, routines, and behavior all matter. Foster care, medical care, behavior support, and careful matching are part of the work. We talk through each dog’s history and the care they may need with prospective adopters.
Get to know the rescueFoster with Friends of Anubis
Fostering is a chance to get to know a dog beyond a listing: their routines, their habits, and the care they need. Tell us about your home, experience, and availability. Before a placement, we’ll need to talk through the dog’s care, expected stay, supplies, veterinary costs, transport, and support.
friendsofanubis@gmail.comBefore accepting a dog, ask who arranges and pays for veterinary care, food, equipment, training, and transport. Talk through expense approvals and what happens in an emergency.
Discuss the expected time frame, your availability, and the plan if your circumstances change. Agree on a transition plan with the rescue before accepting a placement.
Share everyone in your household and your experience with dogs. Ask about the specific dog’s history, suitability, and introductions. Some dogs need an adult-only or only-pet home.
Ask for a contact person, behavior and training guidance, an emergency contact, and a clear plan if the dog is struggling or the placement needs to change.
