We desperately need foster homes.  Wherever you live in Colorado or even in another state, we would like to hear from you.

If you are interested in fostering, please remember that you will be asked to help determine a dog's personality so as to best help find a suitable permanent home. For example, you can help us determine if the dog is good around children, cats or other dogs; and whether it barks excessively when left alone. The dog's temperament may not be truly known so you must exercise caution.  Some dogs may have behavior problems because of past abuse, but "biters" and dogs with aggression issues won't be accepted into Pueblo Collie/Sheltie Rescue.  If you are interested in fostering a dog, we will cover all medical and associated expenses for the dog while in foster care.


You are in no way obligated to Pueblo Collie/Sheltie Rescue by filling out this questionnaire.  A Rescue volunteer will call you to further discuss foster care.  Should you decide to volunteer, you would be required to read and sign a foster home agreement.

A POEM TO MY FOSTER DOG
By Diana Morgan

  I am the bridge between what was and what can be.
I am the pathway to a new life.
I am made of mush,
Because my heart melted when I saw you,
Matted and sore, limping, depressed,
Lonely, unwanted, afraid to love.
For one little time you are mine.
I will feed you with my own hand
I will love you with my whole heart
I will make you whole.
I am made of steel.
Because when the time comes,
When you are well, and sleek,
When your eyes shine,
And your tail wags with joy
Then comes the hard part.
I will let you go -- not without a tear,
But without a regret.
For you are safe forever -
A new dog needs me now.
