Am I allowed to foster a shelter dog?

You first say you were fostering, then that you adopted. I think if they still own the dog, they may be liable for your dog's vet bills. However, most agencies have all foster homes sign a release, stating the agency is not responsible for injury to anyone while the dog is in your care. If your agency usually does this, but forgot to have you sign, then you probably have a case for payment of the vet bills to repair your dog. If you signed a release as a volunteer, it may cover the agency regarding liability for fostering as well. If you adopted this second dog, then you are responsible for all bills created by the dogs behavior. If your vet bills are huge, it may be worth it to contact an attorney. If not, your lawyer will cost far more than you can recover, and it may not be worth it. I was recently attacked by a foster dog, had to get stiches, see a surgeon, etc, and the bills for that were completely my responsibility.

I would check with your local shelter, but I find it hard to believe they would turn you down. Even without a fenced yard, the dog would be better off in a private home than in the shelter's kennel.

YES!! Some shelters do allow this. Just contact the local shelter and ask them. Usualy the time is 10 to 14 days.

You should really hook up with a rescue group, that often only can pull dogs from shelters if they have fosters lined up.They also can give you guidance and advise.

Call your shelter and ask their requirements.

Remember they do also need dog socializers at the shelter, as well as dog walkers.

If you can prove that you will walk the dog each day, tell them that you have a dog and cat already. Do you have enough room that the dog can poo and pee outside?
