Essential to the continued success of Pacific Pug Rescue is the foster program. Foster families open their homes and their hearts, often on short notice, to pugs and pug mixes in need. There may be no information about the dog's health and temperament. Foster parents take on a foster dog with patience and dedication with the support of our Foster coordinator and foster network. Our foster homes are located in the Portland/Vancouver area.

Basic Fostering Responsibilities are:

• To provide a safe environment, food and lots of love for a rescue dog in transition.
• While Pacific Pug Rescue pays for all authorized medical expenses, foster volunteers take their dogs to veterinary appointments, outreach events and meetings with prospective adopters.
• Help evaluate the dog and keep our adoption coordinator informed regarding their progress and personality 

Basic Fostering Requirements are:

• Be within the Portland/Vancouver metro area
• Have a living situation that allows a dog in the home/ have all household members be in agreement to allowing fostering in the home
• Be patient, caring, and a support system for your foster dog
  
  

It’s truly rewarding to watch your foster dog find a forever home, where they will be loved and cherished for a lifetime. While saying goodbye may be bittersweet, understanding that they are beginning a promising new chapter makes it all worthwhile. With each farewell, you also make room for the next dog in need, providing them with the safety and love they deserve.
