Thank you for applying to CAAWS to become a foster parent. Without foster homes, CAAWS would not be able to provide a second chance for so many loving and deserving animals. Please take the time to fill out this form carefully so that we may make the best possible foster placement – the right puppy/dog in the right temporary home. We want your experience at fostering to be one of the most rewarding experiences that you and your foster pet can have.
Before applying to become a foster home, please read the following carefully. In order to qualify to foster a pet from CAAWS, you MUST:
- Be 21 years of age or older;
- Be willing to:
- Bring the pet (at least twice a month) to the adoption center on Saturdays between 9:00 and 11:00 to be placed for adoption and to pick up the pet by 3:00 p.m. if it is not adopted (unless previous arrangements have been made with the Dog Foster Chairperson).
- Bring puppies or adolescent dogs (under the age of 6 months) (a minimum of three times a month) to the adoption center on Saturdays between 9:00 and 11:00 to be placed for adoption and to pick up the pet by 3:00 p.m. if it is not adopted (unless previous arrangements have been made with the Dog Foster Chairperson).
- Be willing and able to provide proper care, love and attention to the pet while it is in your care.
- Understand that CAAWS has the right to remove a pet from a foster home if it is in the best interest of the pet and/or the foster home.
