Why foster?
Fostering is the engine of everything we do.
We don't run a kennel. Every dog in our care lives in a real home with a real family — eating from a real bowl, sleeping in a real bed, learning that humans can be trusted. Foster homes are why we can pull dogs from overcrowded shelters and rural surrender cases at the rate we do.
You don't need to have it all figured out. New fosters get matched with easygoing dogs first, and our team is on call 24/7 if anything comes up.
What's required
The basics.
- A safe, dog-friendly home (rentals welcome with landlord OK)
- Time to give a dog walks, training, and a soft place to sleep
- Basic resident dogs are vaccinated and gentle (we'll match accordingly)
- Willingness to send weekly updates and photos for adopter listings
What we cover
You won't pay a dime.
- All medical care, including vet visits and meds
- Food, crate, leash, and any starter supplies you need
- 24/7 phone support from our foster coordinator
- Mileage reimbursement for vet trips outside your area
A foster's take
“I told them I'd foster one dog, just to see. That was four years and twelve dogs ago. The team makes it impossibly easy — they handle every hard part. You just get to love them for a few weeks.”
