Foster homes allow Jasmine’s House to rescue dogs from a variety of situations by providing temporary care until they are adopted. We couldn’t help these dogs without the kindness of people opening their homes to fosters in need. It is an undeniably selfless and rewarding experience and it doesn’t come without its challenges, but we are here for any support that our foster homes need.
Heather Cole is the foster coordinator for Jasmine’s House. She keeps in touch with foster parents, asking how their dogs are doing so we can match them with the best families. Heather facilitates their advertisements on Facebook, the Jasmine’s House website, Petfinder, and Adopt-a-Pet. She posts foster updates and pictures on Facebook and with thousands of followers, our dogs are often noticed and shared. Heather also keeps fosters updated on any events that we are planning to see if you can attend them.
Every Sunday in Mt Airy, and Wednesday evenings in Westminister we hold dog training classes for our fosters. With Meghan Longhurst we work through the basic commands and skills for the dogs to receive their Canine Life Skills 1 Certification. Foster families receive an “Adopt Me” tshirt, or vest, business cards, monthly heartworm and flea and tick preventative, petsitting services and of course, support.
Become a Jasmine’s House Foster Parent!
I want to foster.
