Fostering is a Rewarding
experience!
Thank you for
considering helping homeless
animals through foster care!
Foster homes are a very critical
part to our, or any, rescue
organization, as we can only
save as many animals as we can
foster. Acting as a foster
parent is a lot of work, but is
also very enjoyable and
rewarding!
We understand that fostering for
the first time can be a scary
endeavor, and we're here to make
everything go as smoothly as
possible!
We are in constant contact with
our foster homes, and you'll
probably make some friends along
the way! Most importantly,
fostering requires love and
patience. We have no way to
predict how long an animal will
be in foster care prior to
adoption. Some are adopted the
same month, and others are in
foster care for over a year! We
ask that, if a person decides to
foster, they accept this, and
are willing to commit to foster
the animal until it is adopted
out.
We make every effort to match
the appropriate foster animal to
foster homes, and no foster home
will ever get an animal they do
not want! If you have a breed,
age, or size preference, please
let us know. Since there are so
many homeless animals that need
help, we can help one that meets
your needs as well.
Prior to fostering an
animal, we ask that all
potential foster homes
complete a foster
application. A BARK
volunteer will conduct a
home check to ensure that
the foster mom and dad have
all of their questions
answered and we know where
the animal will be staying,
and a foster license with
the state may be applied for
as needed.

B.A.R.K. Success Stories
 Jack
is doing well also. He is
very active and loves to
give kisses. He is totallly
ripped (muscular) from all
the exercise (jumping,
running and playing with
Shiloh). When I come back
to the area and work at CBW
Jack comes with me to see
all his old friends. I am
so glad we adopted him!
 I
went to Cleveland a month ago
and visited with Sparky. He now
weighs 26 pounds and is very
comical. He lost his Huskey
sister, Azure, in April, but he
is doing fine now as the only
dog in the household. Sparky is
their center of attention and
has been a great emotional help
to Diane.
