Dogs Matter - Temporary Foster Care App

Temporary Foster Care application

Dogs Matter is a foster-based organization. Taking in any pet relies on the availability of a suitable foster environment for your pet. We understand the urgency but cannot guarantee how long the process will take.
Please fill out the following information if you’re interested in Dogs Matter foster care services for your pet. Fill out a separate application for each pet.
- You must be actively seeking an addiction treatment program (or in recovery) for drugs and/or alcohol
- Dogs Matter prioritizes clients seeking inpatient treatment for up to 90 days
- Dogs Matter prioritizes clients ready for long-term recovery and aftercare
- Medical records and photos will be required
- Please note: it can take up to 48 hours before we’re able to respond
- Please check your email for follow-up questions prior to an intake call
Thank you for taking steps to ensure your pet remains safe during your recovery.
