A temporary foster home takes in animals for short, usually pre-determined, periods of time (e.g., days, weeks). A temporary foster may be required:

• when a long-term foster goes on vacation
• when a long-term foster will not be available to care for their foster dog for a short period of time due to other commitments (work, family, etc.)
• after we take in a dog, but before their long-term foster home can take them in
