Become a Foster Parent

Every day, dogs in shelters face an uncertain future. You can change that—just by opening your home to a foster dog.

The more foster homes we have, the more dogs we can rescue. By fostering, you’re not just saving one life—you’re making space for another dog to be saved. And the best part? Fostering is completely free—all expenses are covered by our organization.

If you’ve thought about adoption, fostering is a great way to see if a dog is the right fit for you. Plus, it’s an incredibly rewarding experience to see shy, scared dogs transform into happy, confident companions. Not sure if fostering is right for you? Check out Fosterdogs.com for helpful tips and real stories from foster families.
