FOSTER

Our fostering program is based in Orangevale, CA, just outside of Sacramento. If you're located within a 50-mile radius of Sacramento, we wholeheartedly invite you to become a part of our fostering team. Please keep in mind that submitting this application does not indicate a commitment to foster a dog, nor does it guarantee that you will be assigned a dog. It serves as a valuable tool for both you and us to identify a potential match that aligns well with your family and lifestyle.

The success of our fostering program relies on finding the right dog for your household and having a clear understanding of the dog's needs and care requirements. To facilitate this process, we kindly request your assistance in answering the following questions thoroughly and comprehensively.
