We emphasize routine and training in a positive manner, using positive reinforcement training methods (resources can be provided).

If for any reason you are unable to keep the foster dog, you may notify Bright Eyes Dog Rescue, and we will make arrangements for the dog to be placed into another home.
Please be prepared to give your foster dog time to settle in. Do not expect them to want to play, or even interact with any other pets or even you to begin with. Some dogs are very scared or unsure when they move homes and need some time and personal space.
