Pictures and Biographies
![Picture](/uploads/1/8/3/6/18367565/1401801.jpg)
As a foster parent part of your job is to help your furry friend get adopted and the best way to do that is to take some amazing pictures and capture your dog's character with a personalized biography. Many rescues will ask you to submit a bio of your foster within a week or so of getting them. When writing your biography make sure to list some basics about your dog (name, age), their training level and any fun facts about them.
Try to write your biography from your foster's perspective the most compelling thing you can write on behalf of an
animal is what you imagine the animal is thinking, feeling or remembering. Start off with the basic facts, but try to put a fun spin on them. Pretend you are writing a personal ad for a paper to try and find the perfect family.
One intro paragraph on “who your dog is” can help a potential adopter "see" the dog without actually meeting him. Your second paragraph should go into personality traits, and provide information about any training tricks or cute behaviour. Your final paragraph should outline the required forever home environment, for example would they do best being an only dog, do they like cats, do they need a quiet environment, etc.
