If your 1st Choice is unavailable, describe your next preference.*
This is your opportunity to ask us your questions! Because we are all volunteers working long hours, we cannot always respond to calls, texts, or individual emails. Once selected on paper, you will receive notification by one of our volunteer committee members to discuss next steps of the fostering approval process. All of your questions will be addressed at that time. And if the rescue you have selected to foster is not available or a good fit, we may be able to recommend another "newbie" for you. Thank you for your patience.*
