For fosters

Training and troubleshooting

  • Bringing a new cat home

    The first 72 hours: a small room, a closed door, and why you should not try to pull them out from under the bed.

    Ask your coordinator for the current link — we host these off-site and the URL moves.

  • Bottle-baby kittens

    Feeding intervals, weight tracking, stimulation, and the warning signs that mean call the coordinator now.

    Ask your coordinator for the current link — we host these off-site and the URL moves.

  • Helping a shy or shut-down dog settle

    Decompression, the three-day/three-week/three-month pattern, and what progress actually looks like.

    Ask your coordinator for the current link — we host these off-site and the URL moves.

  • A dog who struggles being home alone

    Separation distress versus boredom, and the crate and enrichment routine that usually fixes the second one.

    Ask your coordinator for the current link — we host these off-site and the URL moves.

  • Introducing a shy dog to visitors

    Managing the doorbell, ignoring the dog on purpose, and letting the approach be their idea.

    Ask your coordinator for the current link — we host these off-site and the URL moves.

Your foster coordinator is the fastest route for anything urgent — do not wait on a link. Email foster@ballwegrescue.example.
