Foster Application Form

Thank you for considering fostering one of our awesome pets. To start the process, please complete the application below. Although it may seem a little lengthy, it is our mission to seek the best possible foster homes and compatible pet for that home.

We are a no-kill animal rescue. We literally pull animals on their last day of life at animal control so that they may find a true second chance within our adoption program.

Foster parents help these pets by providing a temporary, stable and loving home until the dog is ready for adoption and teaching them the necessary life skills to stay in their adoptive home. Taking one of these unique animals into your home for a period of a few days, weeks, or months is a lifesaving gift to that animal.

To be considered as a foster parent, you must:

Be 21 years of age or older
Have identification showing your current address
Have the knowledge and consent of your landlord (if applicable)
Be able and willing to spend the time necessary to provide proper care for the fostered pet
Completion of this application does not guarantee acceptance as a foster home/parent.

Fostering involves a commitment. Please understand that these animals are NOT perfect. They usually come with no information. We do our best to determine if the animals are housebroken, dog friendly, cat friendly, etc. A dog may not be housebroken or crate trained and a cat may not be well socialized. Please understand that you must be willing to work with the pet on training issues and socialization or both. You are literally saving their lives. If you volunteer to foster and change your mind, that animal does not have a place to go and could end up back in animal control. All animals will be vaccinated before going to foster by Pound Pets, Inc.
