Prior to her current position, Jennifer Heiner helped to coordinate foster families at a dog rescue in New Jersey. As part of her responsibilities, she worked to expand the organization’s impact by recruiting more foster families and volunteers. She also assisted in providing more than 100 dogs a month with foster homes by addressing immediate issues that might arise during the fostering experience.Creating the best environment for your pets, foster or otherwise, is of utmost importance. This is true whether you get a dog as a puppy or later into adult hood, and the old adage "you can't teach an old dog new tricks" simply isn't true. Dogs can relearn or unlearn behaviors pretty easily.
Some of the most rewarding experiences one can have, whether it is through fostering a dog or through adopting one from a shelter, is that you have the power to change that dog's life for the better. The things that once scared them can be changed and unlearned, and a dog can, in the right environment, learn to live confidently and happily.
