What happens if my foster dog gets adopted mid-course?
We would love for you to finish the course, so if you are comfortable with it, we will assign a shelter dog to work with.
What happens if I need to miss a class?
Please let Megan Kaczmarczyk know ahead of time if you need to miss a class. We may be able to offer you another session in a different class.
If I adopt my current foster dog, can I still join class?
Yes, you can finish any courses you are already registered for at the time of your adoption.
If my foster dog has an adoption pending, can I still come to class?
Yes! You can bring your foster dog until the adoption is complete and then if you want to finish the course, we can assign you a shelter dog to work with.
What if my foster dog gets adopted right before class, after I have already signed up?
If you are comfortable working with a shelter dog, we will assign one to you so you can take the class.
