Guidelines 

We require a completed foster application and an interview with you in your home. 

• Foster parents must be 21 years of age or older
• Foster parents must be able to provide a safe, loving and stable environment for the foster animal. 
• In some instances, experience with animal behavior or medical issues is a plus but not necessary. 
• Foster parents must have common sense and patience. 

Duties & responsibilities 

The responsibilities of the foster volunteer include the daily care and maintenance of the foster dog(s), providing them with fresh food and water, and any necessary medications. 

• Making sure they are safe, comfortable, and socialized during their stay in your home is important. 
• Foster parents are also responsible for communicating to the program coordinator and staff any needs or concerns, whether medical, behavioral, or other. 
• Foster parents must be able to transport their foster animal to and from veterinary appointments and adoption events. 
• Foster parents should actively participate in finding their foster animal their furever home. 

Time commitment 

The time commitment required in being a foster parent varies depending on the animals you are caring for. However, it is a big commitment regardless. 

You are their caregiver day and night until they are adopted.
