You know yourself best so we love for fosters to email into to wetnosesfosterpaws@gmai.com when they have a puppet they would like to foster. If you are not particular you can always visit WNDP l Gig Harbor between 12-2 to meet available fosters there.
The 7 day trial is there to make sure that this is the perfect match before officially adopting the dog. You are able to get your own vet screening done, see if the dog is a good fit with other housemates, and get a general idea before making the full commitment.

Spay/Neuter:
Most dogs come spayed or neutered. Occasionally puppies may not have had surgery. This will result in a cheaper adoption fee to help with the cost of the surgery and is required within 30 days of adoption.
Microchip:
Most dogs are microchipped before arrival. Sometimes dogs may not have had the chance to be microchipped. We will provide you with one. We use FI Nano and comes with a lifetime registration.
Deworming:
All dogs have to show a deworming within a month of travel, occasionally we will still see worms present as they may still require another round. If you see worms in the stool during the trial we will provide a dewormer.
Vet Visit:
Every dog gets a wellness exam 10 days before flying. This is a general exam to oversee that the dog is healthy enough to fly. That is why we require you to establish vet care within two weeks after adoption to follow their suggestions on other health protocols they would suggest. Our vet partner "Bayview Vet" in Bremerton offers a free first exam after you adopt.
