Fostering
Fostering is an extremely important and rewarding part of helping a dog to find their forever home. With volunteer foster homes we can meet the one on one needs of dogs brought into our care.
Our fosters play an integral part into our rescue program as they help assess temperament and health which in turn makes finding the right home for the dog successful.
Poet's Vision Aussie Rescue covers all food,vetting, treats, toys and equipment ( crates, collars, leashes beds) needed for a foster dog.
