Fostering
We are able to further our mission with the help of our caring, open-minded, and patient foster homes.
What We Provide
Everything! All we ask of our foster homes is to give love, patience, and understanding to their foster dog. In an effort to make fostering as easy as possible and ensure that our foster homes have everything they need, we provide the following:
- Crate
- Food
- Treats
- Toys
- Leash/Collar
- Veterinary Care and medications (if needed)
- Free training (as needed)
- Doggie daycare or dog walking if you have longer work days
- Free boarding should you need to go out of town while fostering
- Reimbursement for any necessary out-of-pocket expenses
As with our adoptive homes, we always try to the best of our ability to match the foster animal to the foster home. We will always take into consideration you, your lifestyle, and other members of your household, before asking you to foster a specific pet. All dogs are temperament tested prior to heading to your home so we typically have a good idea of each dog’s personality and needs.
Who Can Foster?
Anyone! Whether you live in a condo, small apartment or a house, have children, cats, dogs, or other pets, we can find a temporary match for you. Fostering is perfect for animal lovers who already have pets of their own, people who have worked with rescues in the past (although not necessary), or just anyone who absolutely loves animals but is not ready or able to make the commitment for the life of an animal.
Similar to our adoption procedure, a separate Foster Home application and screening process is required. Once you complete our foster application, one of our Foster Coordinators will be in contact with you!
