Families and their kids get to give a homeless pup a loving home until a permanent family can adopt it. This teaches the kids to responsibility, service, sacrifice and compassion. It is hard at first for the kids to let go of a pup they have cared for, but they learn the satisfaction of having saved a life. We have many families contact us to help care |
Many moms have found their vocation in life through fostering and training dogs with their children. Julie, pictured here with her kids, not only enjoyed training her two Border Collies and their foster dog Prince, but now runs her own 4-H youth dog training program in Southern Utah. Sharon, another mom, gets to utilize her social work degree and love of kids and dogs to help her own kids and others learn the rewarding experience of caring for and training a dog. Many families have told us that they love fostering a dog, and would love to someday have their own sanctuary for unwanted animals. Maybe that is a dream of many people who don't know how to make it come true. Fostering a dog with your family can be a small dream come true. |
Lovers of certain breeds of dogs, owners of businesses, and sponsors of events have joined us in caring for, helping with adoption venues for the dogs, and advertising the program. Stan pictured here with his foster dog Nick, came to us in Park City because he heard on the radio that we had a dog of his favorite breed, St. Bernard. So far he has fostered over 5 large breed dogs for us. Bad Ass Coffee Company owner Michel invites all dog owners of Park City to come into her store with their dogs, and loves for us to bring our dogs for adoption there. The Park City Arts Festival staff invited us to set up a booth at their enormous Festival last year. We were visited by over 100,000 people and made many new friends and potential foster homes. |
