Fostering with
We need fosters like you! When you foster for us, you get to care for an animal in need and celebrate their rehabilitation. Pets bring joy and companionship with their beautiful personalities, and your foster will thrive and find a forever home because of your love and care. Plus, fosters help us save more animals. It's a win-win-win!!
If you have questions about fostering, we have answers for you! Read below to find out what our process looks like, what your role will be, and how we'll support you the whole way through.
Our Process
Our Process
Submit a foster application using the form at the bottom of this page. It's short and easy.
Our volunteers will review the application and call you to try to match you with one of our rescues.
If we find a good match, we will work with you to set up your home to have success when you bring your foster home.
You will sign our foster agreement, which clearly states what your role will be and how we will support you.
We will collaborate with you to make a plan for food expenses.
We will cover all medical expenses.
We will provide behavioral consultations and support. If necessary, we will set up a session with our partner trainer so you feel confident about how to interact with your foster. If you already have one or more animals at home, our trainer will help you introduce your new guest.
We never know how long it will take for an animal to get adopted. Depending on your foster, we can discuss how long we would need your foster to stay with you.
As we get applications for your foster, you can be involved in the adoption process if you want, and you will have the option to meet the adopters and stay in contact with them if you'd like to. Building a community of pet rescuers is one of our core values.
If you end up deciding that your temporary foster is actually meant to be a permanent resident, we will happily facilitate the adoption process. We always love a foster fail! ☺️
