Foster
Foster families are the first step to forever. They are the transition between what was and what will be. Some Borzoi have experienced trauma, have had very little or scarring interactions with humans. Their social skills may be lacking, their trust non-existent.
​
Foster parents are responsible for providing the dog with exercise and good manners through training and socialization with other dogs and people. Foster parents must also be willing to help with the adoption process including: providing regular updates and assessments of that dog’s personality and individual needs, photos, talking with potential adopters on the telephone or via email, and meeting with potential adopters.
​
NBRF foster parents are responsible for food, shelter, and any other incidentals associated with the basic care of the foster dog. However, in situations where the dog has specific medical, dietary, or other needs, NBRF will provide the necessary supplies at no cost to you.
​
It will take patience and understanding. Your heart may soar and break at the same time as they walk on to their new life. Or you may just find the missing piece to your family that you didn’t know you needed and your heart and home may expand to include your foster forever. Either way NBRF is there with you every step of the way!
We’re not saying fostering a Borzoi is easy but it will be one of the most rewarding experiences of your life. Do you have the right “stuff” to be a foster parent/family?
