Dog Foster Application

PLEASE READ: Thank you for your interest in fostering with Underdog Animal Rescue! The key for our rescue group is to add long-term committed fosters, we cannot take on temporary fosters since we do not have a facility and are 100% foster based. If we place a dog with you and you are unable to commit to the dog, you will be responsible for paying up to 7 days of boarding while we coordinate another foster home to place the dog. We are volunteer driven so as a foster you must be willing to set up meet and greets for your foster dog with potential adopters and be committed to fostering until the dog is adopted. We cannot guarantee that each dog will be dog, cat or kid friendly so you must be willing to separate your foster dog and be patient with slow intros, etc. We will cover all medical expenses and supplies needed.

We are recieving an influx of applications; unfortunately at this time we are ONLY looking for:

-Experienced and patient fosters for large dogs
-Homeowners with adequate outdoor space
-Local Bay Area residents

We apologize if we are unable to respond to your foster request, we will do our best to try and match you with a dog.
