Financial responsibility. CBR will provide all medical
care for your foster Beagle until he/she is adopted
permanently. You will be responsible for items required for
daily care, such as food, chewies, toys, and beds/blankets.
Transportation to/from the veterinarian will be worked out with your
Foster Coordinator.
Medical care. All medical care MUST be pre-approved by
Cascade Beagle Rescue. We have accounts set up at various vets
with discounts for our program, so all appointments must be arranged
through your Foster Coordinator. If an emergency arises, do not hesitate to
take the Beagle to the nearest facility for treatment, however, at your
earliest convenience, notify your Foster Coordinator, or our main telephone
number.
Daily care. Unless otherwise instructed, we encourage
at least one daily walk with the Beagle, fresh water daily, food twice
daily and lots of love. Some rescue Beagles have special needs in which
case a detailed set of instructions will accompany the Beagle.
Supervision is key with this breed! Please watch for all escape routes
and be mindful of open doors, open gates. Foster Beagles are NEVER
to be left unleashed, unattended, or unsupervised outside.
Problems. If you are experiencing behavior problems or
any other issues of concern, do not hesitate to call us! We are
here to help you through this process which can be difficult at
times. Because you volunteered to foster, does not mean that
it’s a good fit with the particular dog. This happens sometimes. Let us know and we
will find an alternate foster if necessary.
Adoptions. Our office will be actively reviewing
adoption applications during the time you are fostering. We
screen extensively so some cases take longer than others. CBR-East
does not allow foster homes to adopt their very first foster beagle. In the
event you are interested in adopting your foster Beagle, please notify
us right away so we can discuss it. Matching criteria and adoption fees still
apply. If people you encounter are interested in adopting your
foster Beagle, please refer them to the website for the proper
procedure. They may also call 973.863.7220.
Schedules. If, for any reason, you need to go out of
town or away for a weekend, please notify us two weeks ahead of time. Do not let your
neighbor or friend care for the dog until approved through our
office. They may not know how to care for a Beagle which could
result in problems for us and the dog. We can always find a
temporary, alternate foster home for the time you will be away.
Contacts. Email is the easiest way to reach us, but
call if needed!
