How long does a foster placement last?
Its hard to say. Adorable, issue-free dogs tend to go quicker (in less than a month) while dogs of less-preferred breeds or those that are older or have some difficulties tend to take longer (2 or more months). As soon as we put dogs in foster care, we put their pictures and descriptions up on our website, on the national PetFinder website, and post flyers in local pet stores (Ithaca Grain & Pet and PAWS primarily). All interested parties must fill out adoption applications, have a home visit, and provide a vet reference (if they have another pet). We do our best to move people through the application approval process as quickly as possible.
