volunteers, from any and all liability or responsibility in connection with any pet(s) I agree to foster. I hereby agree that any money

Current Veterinarian, Name, Phone and Address:* Please notify your Vet’s office that an application has been submitted for fostering pets. Give them permission to release general information about you and your pet care history .In addition, your signature below will also serve as giving your permission to release the aforementioned information (required by some Vets). This is only used for verification purposes.

Are you prepared for the 1-3 month adjustment period that a rescued dog may need? *Note: The adjustment period may consist of nothing more than reminding the pet of their house manners (new surroundings & family can unsettle even the best trained dogs). It may also be much more involved and require a consistent routine, dog-proofing your house, extra walks, and a crate (to either finish crate training or as a safe, secure place for one who is already trained). Rest easy though, this period is usually brief and we are here to help you through it!

Volunteer

Don't worry if you can't foster or donate! We are always looking for volunteers who can help us with fundraising, invite their friends to our events or think of ways to help raise more money and save more dogs.

Fostering

Poor Paws Rescue relies on fosters to provide homes for our dogs. We don't have a shelter, kennel or boarding facility, so the dogs we rescue are cared for by a network of volunteers who open their homes to dogs that would have otherwise have been euthanized. Most of our foster parents have children and other pets at home. We made every effort to match rescues to a positive environment. All you need to provide is love and food, we'll do the rest!

Many people worry about having to give up their foster dogs. If you fall in love, you are given priority to apply for adoption. If you are interested in Fostering for us, please fill out the form below and we will contact you after we have reviewed your application. Thank You!
