Fill out the foster application form on the organization's website or contact them directly for the necessary paperwork.
Be prepared to provide information about your living situation, previous experience with pets, and your availability.
Expect a screening process, which may include a home visit or interview to ensure you can provide a loving and safe environment for the foster dog.
STEP #3
Attend Orientation & Training
Attend any required orientation sessions or training programs offered by the organization.
Learn about the specific needs and behaviors of the dogs they place in foster homes.
Understand the organization's policies and procedures, including emergency contacts, veterinary care, and communication channels.
Remember, fostering is a rewarding but commitment-intensive responsibility, so be sure to communicate openly with the organization and ask any questions you may have during the application process.
