A Place for US provides a loving home environment for dogs (usually no more than four at a time) who have come from local shelters and who need to find permanent homes. Before arriving at Bonnie's house in South Egremont, MA, dogs are spayed or neutered (if they've not already been fixed) and given all necessary vaccinations, including kennel cough.
At Bonnie's, dogs live as members of the family. They sleep in cushioned crates in several bedrooms and have the run of the house. Two dog doors, various gates, two separate living quarters, and an acre and a half of above ground fencing make life almost ideal for everyone (except for my three cats who wish this fostering nonsense would just stop!). Each day all dogs go for hikes on local trails, ride in the car, socialize with friends and neighbors (including kids) and learn to have proper manners with the cats. Once a week, each foster dog gets an individual or group lesson with trainer Lois Platt.
After about two weeks, most foster dogs are ready to be placed on the active list for adoption. Potential owners are chosen not on a first come basis but according to who would offer the very best home.
People are welcome to visit any of the dogs, walk them, take them for car rides, even take them home for a trial visit.
Prospective adopters are asked to fill out an application form and waiver of responsibility and may also be asked to agree to a home visit before any dog is permanently placed.
