In this episode, Andreia and Millie are joined by Connor, assistant trainer at Mirror Image K9, to discuss the importance of fostering and how to set your foster dog up for success. Foster homes are the bridge between the shelter and a dog’s next step so your time with your foster dog means you can provide valuable structure and exposure to that dog so they can be successfully adopted. Fostering a pet can save their lives and give them a second chance. If you're interested in becoming the best foster you can be, this episode is for you.

In this episode we discuss:

- What your goals should be as a foster 
- How to help your foster dog transition into a new home as easily as possible
- Fundamentals you can learn and utilize with any dog
- Why too much affection is not benefiting your foster dog
- Importance of providing boundaries and structure
- Managing your expectations
