When we have loving and fun interactions with a dog, we produce more of the hormone oxytocin, which counters stress hormones and can help us to relax and sleep better, which is only one of the benefits of fostering puppies and dogs.
Fostering puppies and dogs is such a rewarding experience.
With all the dog rescues fill to overflowing, there is a great need for carers to take them into their homes until their furever home is found. Fostering can literally save their lives, as we don’t have anywhere else for puppies and dogs to go while they are awaiting a home, and all the other rescues are full up most of the time.
The puppies and dogs are also so appreciative of all that you do and reward you with a lot of love and joyful experiences.
