• PROJECT SHILOH: Fostering with Pawssion Project

    Foster Volunteer Application Form

  • Fostering is one of the most powerful ways to change a rescue’s life. Our shelter is a place of safety, but healing can happen in many forms. Sometimes it happens in a foster home, through people who show up consistently and intentionally for a rescue’s journey.

    When rescues are supported closely, they are truly seen. Their fears, small victories, quirks, and needs become clearer. This kind of care helps them adjust, build trust, and show more of who they are, whether that growth happens in a home, through dedicated foster support, or within the shelter itself.

    The sad reality is that some rescues may never be adopted. Fostering may be the only time they get to feel what home is like.

    With over 800 rescues in our care, every foster home carries weight. Each one eases the shelter, creates space for others in need, and gives a rescue a real chance to heal in a way only fostering can. And even when fostering does not end in adoption, it still leaves a lasting mark. The care and stability given continue to matter long after.

    Imagine being that bridge. The one that helps them move closer to what comes next.

    Ready to open your home and be their bridge?

  • How to Become a Foster Volunteer

  • Step 1: Review our foster programs through the link provided and see which option best fits your current capacity and schedule. If you are not yet sure which program is right for you, that’s okay. We can discuss this further as you go through the process.

    FOSTER PROGRAMS OVERVIEW

    Step 2: Fill out this foster application form and allow at least one week for our team to complete the initial screening.

    Step 3: Go through a virtual interview with one of our foster specialists.

    Step 4: Once approved, you will attend a Foster Workshop. This will cover what fostering involves, the different foster programs, and how placements are determined based on your assessment and current capacity.

    Step 5: After completing the workshop, you will officially be part of our Foster Volunteer pool and can start welcoming rescues into your home.

    Still unsure about fostering?

    That’s okay. You can still fill out this form, and one of our volunteers will reach out to guide you through the process. Fostering is flexible and meaningful, whether it’s for a weekend or until adoption, every effort makes a huge difference in a rescue’s life.

    Important reminders:

    • Our shelters are located in Bulacan and Bacolod. Foster volunteers must be willing to travel for rescue pick-up and drop-off, unless otherwise arranged with the team.
    • There is no fee for fostering. However, we encourage fosters to help with food and supplies when possible. The organization will assist in cases of medical needs.
    • Different foster programs are available so you can choose one that matches your capacity, schedule, and comfort level.
