• To have patience and understanding while your foster dog adjusts to a new home.

• Provide regular exercise, socialization, and enrichment opportunities.

• Take your foster dog to vet appointments if/when required.

What does the application process entail?

If you are interested in fostering a dog, please complete our online application. We will review your application and if you meet the requirements, we will reach out to you to set up an interview over the phone.  Please note that all members of the household must be present for this call.   This phone interview will usually take between 30-60 minutes.

As part of the interview process, we also conduct personal, veterinarian, and landlord reference checks (if applicable), as well as a virtual home visit.

Once approved, you will receive documents to review regarding our policies and procedures and we will have you sign some standard paperwork. From there, you will await your first foster dog match!
