Yes, as long as they are friendly.

We provide food, treats, collars, leashes and a crate. Our trainers will talk to you about your individual dog’s needs.

Required Equiptment Fosters

The thing to remember is the goal of SDI and that is to place dogs with people that need help. We will invite you to Team Training Luncheon to meet the clients and learn how the dogs – and you – will make a huge difference in their lives.

We have been working with SDI since early 2015 as we are so impressed with what they do in rescuing these dogs and training them to be such an important part of someone’s life.  The impact the dogs have on others is absolutely stunning.

We decided to foster as we love animals and wanted to give the dogs a chance to be out of the kennel when they were not being trained and to give our lab a “friend” to play with on the weekend.  It’s a joyous moment when we pick up the fosters  for the weekend and see how excited they are to see us and then the excitement between them and our lab once we get home as they wag tails and run out to play.  The dogs are always so appreciative and just want love and affection.  You’d think that after spending a relaxing weekend just sleeping, snuggling and playing that they’d think this is the life, but these dogs are ready on Monday to go back to “school” at the SDI training center as they love the trainers and working.  They want to learn and help others.  I was so touched at the latest graduation where we could see our  foster that got placed in their new home.  The dogs were so happy and their new owners and their families were so excited to get home with them.  Hearing the stories of the people that were blessed to be getting these dogs so that they can lead a more independent life brought tears of joy.  Fostering of SDI has really impacted our home in a positive manner and we are so grateful that we’ve been able to play such a small part in helping SDI and the foster dogs.
