Foster To Adopt Information
Please read this carefully before you fill out our application
A foster home is a temporary home for a dog until our organization finds a permanent home for the dog.
If you are interested in potentially providing a permanent home for one of our dogs, you still fill out this application first as the adoptive home is allowed a two week trial period to determine if the dog is a match for the home.
After two weeks you can apply to adopt the dog!
Each one of our dogs come with a crate, bed/blanket, leash, harness, bowls, toys and food.
Thank you offering to become a foster home for our organization! To be considered as a foster home for our organiztion you must:
Be 21 years of age or older
If you rent your home you must have consent from your landlord to have a dog
Have all dogs and cats in the home spayed/neutered, if they are six months or older, unless there are medical reasons for not doing so
Have all dogs in the home up to date on vaccinations
Agree to have a home visit done by one of our volunteers
The volunteer will need to see the areas of the home where the dog will be allowed and also visit with family members and current pets. Distance is a factor in whether or not the required home visit can be completed. We are a 100% volunteer run organization. Although we do have volunteer contacts in many areas, some areas may be difficult for us to locate a volunteer to conduct the home visit. We will let you know ASAP if your application needs to be denied due to our inability to find a volunteer to conduct the home visit.
You must also agree to the following conditions, which are included in the foster home agreement contract:
Agree to have the dog wear an Adopt Me harness and/or ID tag on its collar at all times when in public or outdoors
Agree to never allow the foster dog to be off leash when it is outdoors, unless it is in a securely fenced area
Agree to have the foster dog reside in the home, not outside. The foster dog may NOT be left outdoors if you are not at home (this includes outdoor kennel runs)
Agree to never allow foster dogs to be left unattended with young children
Agree to NOT take your foster dog to dog parks; leashed or off leash.
Once you have found and bonded with your newest furry family member, and are ready to make it official, we do ask for a minimum donation fee of $250 for our dogs over 1 year old, and $300 for any of our puppies under 1 year old. This cost goes right back to our animals to securely rescue and care for as many dogs as we can!
