What happens after a rescue dog leaves the shelter and enters a foster home? Too often, that is exactly when support begins to disappear.
In this episode of Rescue Tails, Robert Forto and Robin Lucas of Rebel Rescue South Korea discuss what foster families actually need to succeed. They talk about why foster programs struggle, the importance of regular check-ins, clear expectations, behavioral and veterinary support, and why fosters should never have to wait until they are overwhelmed before asking for help.
Robin also shares the story of S’more, a rescue dog whose foster placement ended after problems developed with the resident cats. His story shows how earlier communication and proactive foster support might help prevent some dogs from returning to the shelter.
Whether you already foster dogs, run a rescue organization, or are thinking about opening your home to a foster dog for the first time, this episode offers practical ideas for building a better foster experience for both people and dogs.
