Approval and Assignments

Once you have filled in your foster application and attended a foster orientation we will review and approve your application and you will receive a welcome letter from our foster team containing your foster handbook.

You will now receive an email from our placement team each time we have a need for foster homes. You simply respond to the team and let them know when you see a pup or pups that you can provide a foster home for.

Review the foster handbook and prepare your home for your new arrivals!
