Become a foster family

BECOMING A FOSTER FAMILY

Fostering an animal means you take a service dog in training into your home and care for them for us. While they’re in your home, we provide you with food and medical care until the pet is available for the training module. Foster families help our service dogs with socialization and love. All our dogs are large breeds ranging from the classic labrador to golden retriever to Bernese mountain dogs. While fostering is temporary, many foster families do it knowing they are helping a stranger in need. Think your a good fit? Download the application below
