TEMPORARY OR SHORT-TERM FOSTERS START HERE
1. Fill Out the Foster Interest Form
Temporary Fostering is caring for a dog for less than 1 week and Short-Term Fostering is for 1 Week to 1 Month.
These types of fosters are life-savers and are either immediately taking in a dog after they are saved from the shelter, or when another Foster parent is out of town or needs a temporary/short-term solution for their Foster Dog.
Thank you for stepping up to help! Please complete the Foster Interest Form to get started:
2. Pre-Screening Conversation (Call/Text/Video Call) + Virtual Home Check
Someone from our team will contact you via Call/Text to touch base and discuss further details to ensure it's a good fit! We will then do a Video Call or request photos to complete a Virtual Home Check.
3. Complete & Sign the Temporary/Short-Term Foster Agreement
The Temporary/Short-Term Foster Agreement will be sent to your email via Adobe Sign.
4. Pick-Up/Drop-Off of the Pitty and Supplies will be Arranged
Typically for Temporary or Short-Term Fostering we will have someone from our team drop off/pick up the dog from your home, or make arrangements for a transport service to help us out.
