fostering 101

What do I have to do?

Provide a safe and loving home for the pup, while they are waiting to be adopted. You may also be asked to transport the dog to the vet, adoption events, or to meet a potential adopter. We will always have someone meet you and you will never be expected to go to the vet, or meet an adopter, alone.

What will it cost me?

ABSOLUTELY NOTHING but your time. We will provide all supplies needed during the pups stay. This includes food and crate, as well as any additional supplies needed such as water/food bowls, blankets, puppy pads, toys, leash, etc.

What if I want to adopt my foster?

"Foster Fails" often occur. I mean, it's just really hard not to fall in love! You can absolutely adopt your foster dog. We just ask that you follow the same process and submit an application.

What is the difference between a Volunteer and Foster?

We are completely foster based so we do not have a physical location for you to come and walk dogs or help with feeding and cleaning. For those not able to be a foster parent, we could always use extra hands during vendor events. This can including walking dogs or answering questions for potential adopters, as well as helping at our booth during the event.
