Foreclosure is simply on your credit report like any other damaging hit to your credit, for up to seven years. You can remove it from your credit report, you can only attempt to build up your credit in the meantime. The most effective way to build up your credit is to have a line of credit that is active, and in good standing. An example of this a credit card that you use to buy your gas on every week and pay in full every month.

The affect of a short sale on a home owner's credit report is much less damaging. The negative on credit may show up as a pre-foreclosure in redemption status, which will result in a loss of around 80 points from the FICO score. It can also simply show up as the loan was paid off and not affect your score at all. This means a short sale with a previous FICO of 680 could possibly see it fall to around 600 or it could remain the same.
