Thank you for generously volunteering your time as a foster home. Fosters are the most valuable aspect of our rescue. Your foster dog is lucky to have you help them begin their much deserved second chance at life!

Some basics...

Veterinary care 
As a nonprofit with a very limited budget, we focus on providing veterinary care for serious or life threatening conditions. We reserve the right to make all decisions regarding the medical treatment of our rescue dogs. For minor conditions, we often have medications we keep in stock to treat the issue. Learn more.

Training 
We recommend that foster homes train and socialize their foster dogs. This makes them more adoptable and gets them off to a good start. Learn more. Dog needs house training? Get tips here.

Returning a dog
If you need to return your foster dog, we’ll immediately try to make arrangements to transfer your dog to a different foster. This can take anywhere from a day to a few weeks depending on how urgent the situation is. If you let us know ahead of time that you must stop fostering by a certain date, we’ll be prepared in advance to move the pup. 

Dogs off leash
For the safety of our rescue dogs, we have a strict policy that rescue dogs may not be let off-leash in an unfenced area while they’re in foster care. 

Going out of town?
Let us know if you're going somewhere while fostering so we can determine the need for another foster home or not.
