Fosters in good standing are generally pre-approved for adoption! If the dog is still awaiting vaccinations or spay/neuter surgery, the adoption will be finalized as soon as those medical procedures are complete.
Pound facilities have limited hours and only feed dogs once a day. Because sick dogs need round-the-clock monitoring, twice-a-day meals, and timely medication, they cannot recover in a pound environment. They need a home to heal.
