Foster Dog Alliance

“OBG Cocker Rescue has several foster dogs attending these classes and they definitely get adopted quickly!”
 – E.F., Silver Spring, MD

 
Friends,

After a lot of agonizing thought, we have decided to end the Foster Dog Alliance. We haven’t been able to recruit enough fosters to keep the classes running.

We are grateful to those of you who did participate. We hope that both your foster dogs and you have learned useful skills that will help you for many years to come.

Please remember to check our free workshops. And if you haven’t yet joined our mailing list, please do so. Our e-newsletter always includes behavior and training articles. On our website, you will also find a number of handouts that can help you and your adopters, including behavior handouts under “behavior issues” and children and dogs under “life with dogs”.

It has been a pleasure working with you and your foster dogs. You are all very special people!
