* Crate: This is a necessity. An absolute necessity. I am not kidding. Crates are a crucial aid in potty training your foster mutt and keeping him out of trouble when you can't supervise him directly. They are key in teaching impulse control. Additionally, a crate allows your foster dog to have a safe space where he can eat, sleep, and enjoy chew toys without worry of being disturbed by other pets or kids in the household. At least in the beginning, your foster mutt should sleep and get all his meals inside the crate. Crates can certainly be abused, but when used judiciously, they are a vital tool. WAGS can provide a crate for your foster mutt.

* Food and Water Bowls: I recommend stainless steel. Durable, inexpensive, easy to clean (dishwasher safe!) and no risk of BPAs or other nasties seeping into your dog's meals. Have separate bowls for each dog.
