Thank you for your interest in saving lives by becoming a foster parent. Foster parents are integral to saving LIVES.

What to Expect, and What's Expected of You?

We will work with you to identify the type of foster dog or cat placement which best fits your experience, household, and living situation. 

Any dogs or cats in your household need to be spayed/neutered and up-to-date on vaccinations.

We appreciate the Foster Parent’s help in promoting their foster dog by sending photos, videos, and providing a description of their animal’s personality.

We request that Foster Parents talk with screened potential adopters and bring dogs to Meet & Greets when a serious prospective home is found.

We welcome your opinion and insight on whether or not a potential adoptive home is the right fit. As the Foster Parent, you know the dog best. We work together on choosing the right home.

Do I qualify as a Foster Parent?

If you’re a animal lover 21 years and older, that can provide a safe, loving, temporary indoor home for a dog or cat in need, you are welcome to apply as a Foster Parent.

Why are Foster Parents needed?

As summer comes a lot of animals are getting abandoned, and as a result we get really loaded and we run out of space for the animals.

I already have animals in my home, can I still foster?

Yes! Before you consider fostering, make sure your own dogs are up-to-date on their vaccinations. Though there are rare exceptions, we ask that all dogs in your home are spayed/neutered.

What pet is right for me?

We will work closely with you to ensure a foster dog or cat fits well in your home environment. We want the best fit for you, and for our pet.

What do I need to provide?

The foster pet is required to have adequate food, water, and shelter at all times.

How does the foster dog find a permanent home?

Most adoptions are through our website, dubizzle and social media pages.

Can I try to find a home for my foster dog on my own?

Yes! We love it when you find a home for your foster dog or cat!  Once you do please let the family who would like to adopt the dog or the cat visit our center so we can process the adoption.

If I fall in love, can I adopt my foster pet?

Yes! If you decide to adopt let us know asap, since once we start the process with potential adopters we end up with heartbroken families.
