Share your home and your heart
By making a commitment to foster a dog, you can truly change the life of a homeless pet. Fostering a dog in your home allows us to place our dogs into safe & loving homes while they await their permanent adoptive homes.
Why does Adopt-A-Dog need foster homes?
There is no greater satisfaction or rewarding experience than to watch a rescue dog blossom into a wonderful pet due to your own generosity & personal commitment to enrich his or her life. By fostering a homeless dog you help to increase its chances of being successfully adopted. Some dogs have never had a regular routine or schedule, so by fostering a displaced dog you greatly assist it in adapting to a home environment sometimes for his or her first time.

What does a foster home provide?
For foster homes, AAD supplies starter food, bedding, dog crate if needed, veterinary care and behavioral advice. You supply your time, affection and attention to the dog.
Why should you foster a dog?
Fostering a dog is one of the most rewarding ways to help a homeless animal. A foster home serves as a “stepping stone” for dogs waiting for a permanent home, takes the pressure off the animal shelter, and sets the stage for successful adoptions.
Involving kids in the foster processes
Many families and kids want to be involved with Adopt a Dog and since kids under 16 years of age cannot volunteer at the shelter; fostering is a great opportunity to support your kids and their interest in dogs and help our dogs. Talk to our foster coordinator if fostering a dog in your home is a good idea for you and your family.
