Foster Application

Thank you for your interest in fostering a Standard Poodle through Michigan Standard Poodle Rescue. Fostering saves lives - we appreciate you! All fields are required unless otherwise noted.

Foster Requirements & What MSPR Covers

Vet Care

The rescue covers the following:

Parvo/distemper vaccine
Rabies vaccine
Stool sample testing
Heartworm test

Anything else must be preapproved before the vet appointment.

Note: Any vet care, including testing and vaccines, not approved by the rescue may not be reimbursed.

Grooming

The rescue can cover up to $100 for professional grooming services if the dog requires it.

We require a poodle cut only: shaved feet, shaved face, ears left as long as possible, top-knot left long. The tail can have a sanitary shave but hair left as long as possible. Body can be left shorter for easier maintenance.

Grooming example - two standard poodles

Grooming example - brown standard poodle

Foster Name

Please do not change the foster dog's name while in your home. You may change their name if/when you decide to adopt them.

Food

In most cases fosters provide food for the foster dog. In some situations we will send a bag of food.

Collar

We require all fosters to have a martingale collar. These are available at Walmart, Meijer, and all major pet stores. You will need to have this prior to the dog coming into your care.
