Foster Puppy Essentials
Hands down best purchase ever, especially if you are fostering puppies and older dogs. Reusable, washable pee pads. Comes in different sizes. Makes puppy clean up so much easier. Would recommend having a minimum of 2 to switch up while the other one ...
IMPROVIA® Reusable Waterproof Puppy Pad 18x24
Great for puppies and older dogs. I like to cover my rugs or the side of the couch they usually lay on to prevent any damages and make it easier for clean up.
Ameritex Waterproof Dog Bed Cover Reversible
I use these around the house because Fur Babies cannot be trusted. Puppies get into everything and its easier having them on a leash for quick recall and to stop them from getting into stuff you don't want. Also used as a training leash to work on re...
Long Leash
It is not their fault for peeing in the house, more specifically the carpets, but we are going to need something to help with the clean ups - and this is your guy. My foster puppies are typically norther rescues, they are found abandoned in the cold,...
Odor & Stain Removers - Litter & Housebreaking
When fostering more than one puppy I highly recommend having a separate area to hold them in. The pen is perfect for nap time, sleep time and decompressing time for when you need to get things done around the house. I would use the reusable pee pads ...
Dog Pens & Dog Playpens | Walmart Canada
a little take home gift for the fur babies
Pet Soft 3 Pack Fluffy Dog & Cat Blankets
I feel like a broken record saying "they're up for adoption" 1000 times when I take the pups out with me to run errands, so for me, this is 10/10! Everyone quickly realizes the puppy is up for adoption and soon enough everyone is talking about this c...
3 Pack Adopt Me Dog Bandanas for Puppies
This SCREAMS ADOPT ME, so I don't have to! Another 10/10 that grabs attention and bring awareness.
Adopt Me Dog Leash (Pink)
You'll need some of these to pick up the brown stuff

No purse, no problem. Hang this off the leash and off you go.
Earth Rated Dog Poop Bag Holder, Leakproof
Comfy Bedding
A lot of northern rescue dogs don't know what a bed is, so I like to keep a cozy dog bed for them. Creates a softer, cozier environment, allowing my foster to decompress in comfort. I usually choose the inexpensive beds since I mostly foster puppies ...
Dog Beds - Pillows & Blankets for Dogs | PetSmart Canada
I love using these inside the crate. Some puppies would rather use the bed as a chew toy, but I have had foster puppies that appreciate a warm, soft space and LOVE going into their crate to decompresses in bed. I will ALWAYS have a soft bed for these...
EHEYCIGA Calming Dog Crate Bed Medium Grey
Extra little cozy aspect for the crate or car rides. I usually put a blanket over the crate to cover it, helps the fur babies to decompress. I like to send off my fosters with their own little blankets when they get adopted so they have a little scen...

Toys & Mental Stimulation
I use these to feed them their meals + any snacks and treats during the day go into the matt. Mental stimulation. Provides them with an outlet to use there natural sniffing instincts and hunt for food. 10 minutes of sniffing for a dog is equivalent t...
Trenzsary Dog Snuffle Mat Slow Feeding Toy
another one for the mental stimulation + great way to slow down meal times. The puppies enjoy when I put treats in here.
Omega Paw Authentic Tricky Treat Ball Large
Lick mats are great tools for food oriented puppies and dogs. I use these when I give the fur babies a bath or trimming nails. Helps keep them distracted while I do whatever I need to do. ALWAYS and only use under supervision. I have seen dogs try to...
Nice Paws Dog Shape Lick Pad - Silicone
This one is for the big chewers and the little baby piranha teeth. The design helps soothe their gums and gives them an outlet to chew on, instead of your fingers. If you add a tiny bit of peanut butter they will play even longer.
Carllg Indestructible Squeaky Dog Chew Toy
These are great for putting in the freezer to help with the little puppy piranha teeth. They love the texture of the frozen material and the cold soothes their gums.
Nylabone® Teething Puppy Chew Freezer Bone Dog Toy - Peanut Butter Flavor
Toys are a must when fostering, especially for the little piranha puppies LOL. You want to keep those teeth occupied so they're not biting the furniture or your fingers.

Treats
I love treats with high quality ingredients. First ingredients are Fresh Ground Pork Liver, Steel Cut Oats, Brown Rice Flour, Dried Potato, Pork Fat, Dried Honey. I usually cut these up into 4 smaller pieces and I'm able to get more out of the bag.
Jay's Tiny Bits Soft & Chewy Training Dog Treats - PetSmart
I'm very picky with ingredients when it comes to treat that I give the fur babies. There arent many treats on the market with 100% natural ingredients so I like to make my own treats for the pups. You can make different treats with different ingredie...
