I Am Dog Rescue Foster Application

Foster families are the heart of I Am Dog Rescue. They provide a responsible, loving, caring, safe, and structured home environment for rescue dogs until the dog is adopted. Proper socialization and basic behavior training are important factors in the adoption of each rescue dog.

Our foster families typically provide dog food for their foster pups, while I Am Dog Rescue covers all necessary medical and other expenses.

Foster Expectations

The dog belongs to I Am Dog Rescue until an adoption agreement is executed and the adoption is finalized.
Fostering will include taking the dog to any necessary vet visits and transportation to and from adoption meet-and-greets. This is typically at the foster’s convenience. Transportation assistance may be available if needed and requested in advance.
Foster families are required to take the dog to a rescue-approved veterinarian for all required care.

WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO DECLINE ANY APPLICATION.
