FOSTER HOMES DESPERATELY NEEDED!

PLEASE HELP!

Most people say they simply can't foster because they would get too attached. They are right BUT you can save a life by fostering and when we find them a great new family..it feels so great! Please find it in your heart to foster a homeless dog!

We pay for all veterinary care needed for the dog. All we ask is that you love the dog and let us know their habits and needs when we are looking for a new home.

Foster Home Requirements:

  • While we do most of our adoptions off of our website traffic, we do hold several Meet & Greet Events a month. We ask that you try to get your foster dog to at least one of these events. You are not required to stay for the event. You can drop off and pick up your foster dog at the designated times. Our monthly events are posted on our website and you will be emailed prior to the event to acceratin if you will be bringing your foster dog so we can assure we have enough accomidations at the event.
  • Foster homes must meet the adoption requirements for the dog before they can be approved to foster a dog.
  • A home visit is required

What is a temporary foster home? A Temporary Foster Home is a person or family who temporarily houses a homeless pet until we can find that baby a home. 99% of our dogs are indoor dogs but there are a few occasions when we will accept an outdoor home for a specific dog. All of the dogs listed below (and more) are in need of foster care until they can be placed.

What is a permanent foster home? A Permanent Foster Home is a home who houses and loves a foster dog for Forgotten Paws while Forgotten Paws remains responsible for the veterinary care of that dog. Permanent fosters are responsible for food and toys, etc. Permanent fosters are needed for our elderly dogs who will never be adopted. Many people don't want to adopt an elderly dog b/c of the potential veterinary expenses. If you are a permanent foster, those expenses are picked up by Forgotten Paws. All of the dogs listed on our Sanctuary page need Permanent Foster Homes.
