Foster-To-Adopt Dogs

If we had endless time and energy we would train every dog that comes our way, but the reality is that some dogs either don't meet our temperament requirements to be a part of our trained program and/or we simply don't have the time or space for them, but we want to help in any way we can.

Our foster-to-adopt dogs are most often owner surrenders. If you believe one is a good fit for your home, you can take him/her on a trial basis (usually around 2-3 weeks) while we work on getting them spayed/neutered and up-to-date on vet care. If at the end of the trial period, you want to keep the dog, you simply pay us the cost of their vet bills (this can vary from $250-$700+ depending on the dog's needs), and the dog is yours! If the dog is not a good fit, you can simply return him/her to Red Paw Farm.

We also very much welcome families simply looking to adopt dogs that are already up to date on vet care and/or families who just want to foster temporarily but not adopt!

We do not currently have any foster-to-adopt dogs available, but please apply if you are interested in this part of our program to be kept up to date on future options!

Meet Frank

Frank is a 4-year-old, 50 lb labradoodle who has been well-cared for and used to living in a typical home environment. He is current on shots and neutered. He is described as affectionate, human-oriented, and super smart.

Frank has played well with other dogs in boarding situations and he has been raised with a cat.

The reason Frank is being rehomed is that he is not well-suited to living with young children. Frank is not aggressive at all, but does have tend to get over-excited by kids running around and has shown some herding tendencies.

We recommend children be 12+ for Frank.
