Foster Homes for Animals Foster families take in animals that are waiting to find permanent, “fur-ever‚“ homes. Most adoption and rescue organizations need foster families and will provide for the needs of the animals, including food and medical care. An application process is usually required. The length of fostering can vary

• OCPoundHounds Small Breed Dog Rescue www.ocpoundhounds.com OCPoundHounds Small Breed Dog Rescue is a licensed non-profit charitable organization that fo- cuses on rescuing small, apartment-sized dogs, usually under 12 lbs., from local “high kill” shelters in Southern California. Most rescued dogs are on the euthanasia lists for minor medical issues, cruelty and/or neglect cases, or just because the shelter is over-crowded and has to make space for incoming dogs. OCPoundhounds rescues dogs that they feel have the best opportunity for being rehabilitated and re-homed with “homes-for-life” by dog parents com- mitted to giving an OCPoundhound a forever home, usually a 10 to 15 year commitment. They special- ize in socialization, positive reinforcement behavior training and meeting all medical needs while the rescued dogs are in their care. They keep a dog in their rescue organization for as long as it takes them to make the right placement match between the dog and the adoptive pet parents. See ad on page 5.
