Your Role as a Foster Family

When you foster a pet from Four Paws Rescue, you are making a different. As you can imagine, being kept in a pound and then rescued can be very stressful and traumatic for many dogs. In your home they have a chance to feel safe and secure, to be loved, nurtured and get exercised and socialized. Your positive influence on this dog or puppy will prepare them for a new permanent family, which is the biggest gift of all!

• Provide temporary home and care for a cat or dog (ranges from a couple weeks to a couple months)
• Transport the foster pet to vet appointments as scheduled by Four Paws (if/when necessary).
• Provide information to update the pet bio (as well as digital photos and/or videos)
• You may be aksed to bring your pet in for an adoption event, or coordinate with a volunteer going to an adoption event
• Be a responsible guardian for your foster pet

• Screen and interview all potential pet owners to find the appropriate home
