I have a questopm about fostering dogs.!?

Im 13 years old, and I was thinking about fostering dogs. I live in up state New York. Does anyone have any websites I could go on to start fostering them??!?! And can you be 13 and foster dogs? My mom said I could but how do I start?
Answers:
Contact your local animal shelter and see if they have a foster parent program. Because you're only 13, they probably won't let you foster - your mom will have to be the one to sign the contracts.
If your local shelter doesn't have a foster program, or if there's a specific breed of dog you're interested in fostering, see if that breed has a rescue in the area. Again, your mom will have to be the one to sign up to be the actual foster home.
Good luck!
Try contacting a major animal shelter to make enquiries. I think 13 is too young to foster, but your mom could foster a dog.

Start with NY ASPCA --puppy pooice and the animal chelter in your community. .. You will be inspected and more than likely a kennel licenses...
ya go to the SPCA and they will give you dogs to foster. once you turn 14 you don't need your parents to sign anything. you can also volunteer there starting at 12 and again once your 14 no parents permission.
Good Luck on the whole thing I would only take 1 at a time because they are a lot of work.
For websites try www.rainanimals.org thy should be able to help u out or just search the web for local fostering agencies, or the classifieds.
