We are now accepting applications for both Full-Time and Back-Up Foster Families for the Penn Vet Working Dog Center.
Thank you for your interest in fostering a dog for the Penn Vet Working Dog Center! As a Foster, you will play an important role in the growth and development of one of our dogs. By filling out this short form you will are indicating your interest in the program.
There are two possible ways for you to participate. Please read the descriptions and see what would best suit your interest and ability.
FULL-TIME FOSTER FAMILY
Anyone who has room in their life to have one of our extraordinary pups FOR THE NEXT YEAR will be considered. In turn you need to think about the logistics involved. For example, can you get the pup to the Center on Grey's Ferry Avenue in Philadelphia in the morning (7 AM to 9 AM) and to your home in the evening (4 PM to 7 PM)? Do you like the idea of having a pup on the weekends? Will you be able to say goodbye to the pup at the end of his training, which will be approximately after a year?
If this sounds good, click the respective choice below and continue with the form.
BACK-UP FOSTER FAMILY
This is for anyone who has room in their life to SOMETIMES take care of one of our extraordinary pups. There will be times that we can plan ahead when our full time foster families will know well in advance that they need to go away, and there may be times when we quickly need to find a temporary spot because life happens!
A couple of things to consider—can you get the pup to the Center on Grey's Ferry Avenue in Philadelphia in the morning (7 AM to 9 AM) and home to you in the evening (4 PM to 7 PM)? Do you like the idea of having a pup on the weekends?
