How it works:

This program allows local families to have a “pick of the litter puppy. This is disigned for people who would like to have the experience of having puppies without all the expense that is involved.  The Foster Home’s puppy/ young adult dog becomes apart of the Foster homes family forever, while breeding rights are retained by Wagging Wheatens. Once the dog has completed his or her breeding career he or she will be spayed/ neutered at Wagging Wheatens expense. Your foster to adopt program deposit will be returned in full and the dog will become a forever pet to the foster family. Every litter you will recieve a $1000 thank your for the time and work involved. I will supply the materials for caring for the puppies while in your home and expenses. 

How much cost is involved to become a Foster to Adopt Family?

 The cost to become a Foster home requires a deposit of $1000.00 When the Foster pup/ young adult dog has completed its breeding career we will refund the entire deposit back to our Foster Family as a way of saying “Thank You” for participating in the program.  Wagging Wheatens will pay to have the dog spayed.

What are our Foster to Adopt families responsible for? 

Our Foster to Adopt families are responsible for the general routine veterinary care and wellness of the puppy/ dog entrusted to  them. This entails annual vaccines, feeding a high quality dog food, three to four groomings a year, monthly heart guard prevention along with Frontline prevention, training, regular exercise and lots and lots of love. I will pay for the genetic testing at 10-12 months. 

How to become a Foster to Adopt home? 

The foster to adopt family needs to have physical or electrical fencing in their yard. Our pets need to be secure and safe at all times. The families need to live with in 60 miles of Rochester NY. Flexible schedules are required of our foster families. The family needs to own their own home.
