BECOME A FOSTER
You've just taken the first step in helping animals by considering becoming a foster parent. Without a physical shelter, we rely on kind-hearted individuals like you to help rescue more animals from the streets and prepare the ones we've already saved for their forever homes
Here's everything you need to know about becoming a foster parent, and taking in an animal in need.
Fostering Requirements
You must be 18 years or older to foster one of our animals.
Your landlord must allow pets in the home. Evidence may have to be presented.
We are looking for someone who can commit for at least one month.
You must be resilient; the first days and even weeks can be difficult. You must be prepared to work through this.

What to expect?
When you become a foster, we’ll start by matching you with a rescue who fits your lifestyle and experience. Please keep in mind that no dog will come to you perfect -- it will be a process but we aim to set you up for success by finding you the right match.
Once we agree on a dog or cat, you will be added to a Messenger group-chat, where foster coordinators will support you throughout the entire process. Many of these animals have never lived in a house before, so you’ll need to train them in basic skills. Don’t worry—we will provide detailed guidelines to help you with any challenges, be there when it is tough, and celebrate together when things go well!
We cover all vet bills and provide food, toys, a dog bed, and other essentials for your temporary family member. However, if you prefer to supply these items yourself, we are very appreciate of that as well.
Please remember that you are caring for someone else's future pet. While you may have your own methods for training, feeding, or caring for a dog, it’s crucial to follow the provided guidelines. This ensures the animal's well-being and prepares them for their new family. Your flexibility and adherence to these guidelines are key to helping the dog transition smoothly into their forever home.
