1. Create a financially stable enviroment. You need to be able to support more than one mouth now.
2. Set yourself a limit. If you're fostering one dog, but you can't afford to feed it (it might be very large or have expensive dietary requirements), decide how big the animal can be. If you're fostering more than one dog at a time, set yourself a limit to how many dogs you can handle. My guess, from personal experience, is 3.
3. Make sure you have good leashes, good collars, and good food. Before fostering the dog, check if it has any special dietary needs. If so, know which, and buy it (My German Shepherd will only have dog rolls and will not TOUCH her dry food). Next, go to the local vet and buy leashes, collars, and a couple heavy duty dog toys.
4. Look at you're surroundings. Is there a nearby park? There should be. The furthest I believe the park can be is a fifteen minute drive. Otherwise forget it. DO NOT keep your dog on the leash at all times. This can lead to lack of exercise. Make sure the park is fenced so that the dog(s) cannot run away.
5. Buy the bowls. If you are fostering three dogs, you'll need six bowls. Three for each one's food, and three for each one's water.
6. Last of all, make sure you are experienced. You'll need to have safely cared for at least two dogs before(it doesn't have to be at the same time). Some of thee dogs might have been previously abused, so tread carefully.
Good luck!
