Becoming a foster parent can be a very rewarding experience. Some of the rescue
cockers come to us with special needs and are not immediately ready for adoption
into a permanent home. They need extra time, patience and TLC in order to blossom
into wonderful, adoptable companions. Needs may include:
-
Help with housebreaking
-
Time and care for cockers recovering from surgery
-
Special baths and medication for cockers with allergies
-
Socialization and obedience training for cockers who have spent too much
time in crates or tied out and away from people
-
A warm place to rest and lots of love for older cockers who need more time
to find their forever homes.
Are you interested in becoming a foster home for a needy cocker? Because the
foster parent is so important in helping the rescue cocker make a successful
transition to a permanent home, foster parents should be able to provide the
following:
-
Genuine love and concern for the welfare of the foster cocker and a willingness
to learn about its needs
-
Time to provide for the cocker's care and needs
-
Socialization of the foster cocker, making him part of your everyday life
-
Willingness to take the cocker to obedience classes and/or follow behavioral
guidelines when necessary
-
Transportation to a CSRNE veterinarian and/or veterinary specialist and
groomer
-
Attendance at a Foster Home Orientation program
-
LOTS of patience and a good sense of humor!
CSRNE retains ownership of the foster cocker and will pay for all medications,
veterinary care, special diets, training costs and other approved expenses.
If you're interested in providing foster care and have questions, please call

If you have room in your heart and the time to help a needy cocker, please
complete and mail in the Foster Home Application along
with a signed Restraint Agreement. The CSRNE Foster Home Coordinator will contact
you and schedule a mutually convenient time for a home visit.
We have several cockers now waiting for a foster family to love and care for
them. You can make a tremendous difference in the life of a homeless cocker.
