about the program
male foster program
Male foster pups are placed in approved foster homes at 8 weeks old at no cost.
Foster families must provide a safe, loving home, feed a raw diet, and have a secure enclosed area.
At 18 months or older, males are able to be bred if they pass their health testing and vet checks. If approved, the male will return to Rockway Kennel for breedings when needed.
Pickup and drop-off for breeding is available for foster families within the Niagara Region.
Full ownership is transferred to the foster family at approximately 5 years of age, at no cost.
Vet bills are covered by Rockway kennel, but all visits must be approved before booking.
female foster program
Female foster pups are placed in approved foster homes at 8 weeks old at no cost.
Females must be at least 2 years old and have had a minimum of two heat cycles before being vet-checked for breeding eligibility. All females at Rockway have a maximum of 4 litters. For any reason we decide that the risk of her health is too great for the breeding, she will be placed in early retirement. Her health and wellbeing will be put first.
Foster families must notify Rockway Kennel of all heat cycles, whether breeding occurs or not.
When breeding is planned, females will return to Rockway Kennel during or after heat, then return home until two weeks before their due date.
After puppies are weaned around 6 weeks, the female returns to her foster home.
Pickup and drop-off for breeding is available for foster families within the Niagara Region.
Full ownership is transferred to the foster family at approximately 5 years of age, at no cost.
Vet bills are covered by Rockway kennel, but all visits must be approved before booking.
