Foster Volunteers - Frequently Asked Questions

 
1. What is Camp Chaos?
 
Camp Chaos Rescue is a non-profit organization dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming giant dog breeds such as Newfoundland's, Great Pyrenees, Saint Bernard's, and more. We work tirelessly to provide these gentle giants with a second chance at life.
 
2. What does fostering entail?
 
Fostering involves providing a temporary home for a giant breed dog in need. As a foster volunteer, you'll open your heart and home to a rescued dog, offering love, care, and socialization while we work to find them a permanent adoptive family.
 
3. What are the requirements to become a foster volunteer?
 
To become a foster volunteer, you need to be at least 18 years old, have a stable living situation, and possess the time and dedication to care for a foster dog. Experience with large breeds is beneficial but not mandatory. We'll provide you with training and support throughout the fostering process.
 
4. How long do I need to foster a dog?
 
The duration of fostering varies depending on the individual needs of the dog. Some dogs may only need a temporary foster home for a few weeks, while others may require several months of care. We'll work with you to find a foster placement that fits your availability and preferences.
 
5. What expenses are involved in fostering?
 
As a foster volunteer, you'll be responsible for providing love and a stable home for your foster dog. Camp Chaos covers all food and veterinary expenses, including vaccinations, spaying/neutering, and any necessary medical treatments.
 
6. Can I foster if I already have pets?
 
Yes, many of our foster volunteers have pets of their own. We'll carefully match you with a foster dog that is compatible with your existing pets, taking into account factors such as size, temperament, and energy level.
 
7. What support will I receive as a foster volunteer?
 
As a foster volunteer, you'll receive ongoing support from the Camp Chaos team. We'll provide you with training resources, guidance on behavior and training, and access to experienced mentors who can offer advice and assistance whenever needed.
 
8. What happens if I can no longer foster the dog?
 
If unforeseen circumstances arise and you're no longer able to foster the dog, we'll work with you to find an alternative placement. Our priority is always the well-being of the dog, and we'll do everything possible to ensure a smooth transition to a new foster home or permanent adoptive family.
