FOSTER HOMES NEEDED

Besides fostering a healthy dog fosters are needed for dogs with kennel cough. Kennel cough is a bronchitis characterized by a
harsh, hacking cough which most people describe as sounding like "something stuck in my dog's throat." It is analogous to a
chest cold for humans and dogs usually recover with antibiotics and cough tabs over a two week period in foster.
Foster homes for these dogs cannot have a pet dog, because kennel cough is contagious. We ask our foster "parents" to provide
food, water, walks and lots of love to their "foster kids." Our veterinary clinic will provide needed medications and the foster dog
will need to come to the clinic for a two week foster check.
At that time most will be healthy and can be put up for adoption.
