Fostering creates space in shelters and gives a dog the stability to heal, decompress, and become adoption‑ready. We provide guidance and support; you provide love and a safe place to land.

Foster Commitment (typical):
Temporary foster: 2 - 8 weeks
Long term foster: 2 - 6 months
(varies by dog and situation)

You Provide: Daily care, updates, photos/videos (freedom videos, check‑ins)

You might also be asked to provide: Transport to vet (as needed), help with adoptions, transport to and from adoption events, food, etc.

Quick Steps to Foster:

• Submit the Foster Application

• Brief phone interview & home check (virtual or in‑person)

• Approval + foster onboarding

• Pick‑up or receive your foster (take a short “freedom video” at pickup)

• Stay in touch with updates; we’ll help market for adoption

Adopting gives a dog a permanent, loving home. We work to make the best match for you and for the dog’s long‑term wellbeing.
