Fostering
Why do you want to become a foster home for MSIR?
How long can you foster a dog?

I am willing to foster a shiba until his/her placement
I can short-term foster (1 day - 2 weeks)
Short-term or temporary fostering is a wonderful way to give other foster home breaks for vacations, emergencies, etc.
