Foster Homes during COVID-19 "Shelter at Home" period

Thank you for your interest to foster during this very difficult time! Due to risks, we are limiting our foster program to homes close to our volunteers and vets in San Leandro, Hayward, Fremont, Santa Clara and Peninsula counties. Please offer your foster help to your local shelters for closer meet, supplies, vet care, return and support. Please see our shelter page for a animal shelter near you. We have no office nor shelter. We do not have any back up boarding should the dog or cat not work out.

Before submit your FOSTER application, please read the following

The person filling out this application must be an adult (21 yrs+) and the primary owner or renter of your home.
Foster homes must be reasonably close to Fremont or Saratoga to attend showcases regularly.
Dates and times of dog adoption showcases may be found in the Showcase Locations page.
All family members must be present at the adoption showcase and/or the home visit in order to meet and confirm ready to foster.
Renters must provide a "Written Letter of Approval" from the landlord allowing the pet.
See our How to Adopt and FAQ page for information on criteria for adoptions—so you understand our processes.
