Help Us Save Lives

Why Foster?

Fostering saves lives. It gives a dog a safe place to decompress while opening space for another dog in need.

In a home, dogs can relax and show us their true personality, habits, and needs. This helps us match them with the right adopter. As a foster, you are the bridge between rescue and adoption.

Process:

  1. Submit a foster application.

  2. Once vetted, our team will schedule a call with you.

  3. Complete a meet and greet with your household, including resident dogs.

Duration:

Most foster commitments are approximately 4 weeks with a set start and end date. You are never expected to foster longer than you agreed to.

We Provide:

  • Food

  • Crate

  • Waste bags

  • Slip lead

  • Education on canine psychology & behavior

  • Training tools

  • Foster support Monday-Friday, 11am-7pm

  • Emergency after-hours support, daily

Frequently Asked Questions:

 

Will it hurt to say goodbye?


Yes, but goodbyes mean your foster dog found their forever home — and you helped save a life.

What if I want to adopt?


Fosters get priority if it’s the right fit.

Can I foster without a yard?


Yes. A safe, loving home matters more than yard size.

Can I foster if I work long hours?


Yes. A peaceful home is still better than a shelter or kennel.

What if it doesn’t work out?


We provide support and will take the dog back if needed. We do not place reactive or aggressive dogs in foster homes.
