 You must be at least 18 years old, have a safe and clean living environment, and be willing to commit time and love to the puppy’s care.

 Fill out the Foster Application Form available on our website or at our office, followed by an orientation session and a home visit.

 We provide all essential items, including formula, feeding bottles, toys, bedding, and any required medication.

 Contact our Animal Care Coordinator immediately for guidance. In severe cases, you may be directed to take the puppy to a vet. 

This varies but is typically about a 6 month commitment, depending on the puppy’s needs.

 No, cow's and goat's milk do not have the necessary nutrients required for a puppy's development.

 Start by introducing wet puppy food mixed with formula around 4-5 weeks old, gradually increasing solid content.

 We specialize in the care of orphaned, bottle-fed puppies and whelping mothers.

Ensure the puppy is in an upright position during feeding and gently burp them afterward. It's also crucial to measure the milk quantity according to the puppy's weight.
