Frosty Face Program
Frosty Face Program
Adopt a Frosty Face Foster
Are you wanting the company of a pooch but no longer have the zest or energy for puppy antics and wee stains? Perhaps you also don’t have the finances for all those pesky vet bills? We may have just the solution for you! Our Frosty Face Foster Program can help with all that.
- The applicant must be 60 or older.
- The dog in question must be 10 or older.
- The applicant must be self-sufficient and of sound mind and body.
- It would be an "open-ended" fostering, whereby the home would keep the dog until either the dog passed the Rainbow Bridge or the circumstances of the applicant changed - i.e. assisted living or they themselves passed the Rainbow Bridge.
- Cape Dachshund Rescue will be liable for any veterinary expenses incurred with due consideration that major surgery on a 10 year old or older dog is inadvisable.
- The applicant would be responsible for the day to day living expenses, i.e. food, water, tick and flea control and nail clipping.
- There would be no adoption fee applicable.
- Should the applicant's circumstances change to the point that they are no longer able to care for the dog, the dog would be returned to Cape Dachshund Rescue or should a family member opt to adopt the dog, the relevant home check of the family member will apply.
- Applicants must reside near the main cities and towns of the Western Cape, Free State and Eastern Cape.
