Got love to spare at home?
Fostering means providing a temporary home to a dog without necessarily adopting it. Fostering not only saves that senior animal’s life, but allows us the space and resources to go save another dog from:
- a local shelter
- a neglectful home
- an owner who may have passed away
- many other life circumstances that arise
During the foster process, we actively support you, and we make efforts to find the dog a forever home.
Our sanctuary is located near 64th Street and Cactus and our veterinarian's office is only 5 miles away.
What you can expect from FLPS:
- Provide all medical care for your foster dog
- Loan out baby gates, crates, dog bed or other equipment you may need in order to care for your foster dog
- An initial bag of transition food (dry and/or wet) to help you get your foster dog started on their healthy diet at your house. We offer additional food if needed
- A team of volunteers who are available to answer and assist with behavior questions, medical issues, and general support
- A team of volunteers working to network and promote your foster dog to find a forever home
- Boarding for the foster dog at our sanctuary if you need to be out of town
What FLPS can expect from you:
- Provide a loving temporary home for your foster dog
- Opportunities to socialize the foster dog through quality time spent with you and any other members of your household
- No more than 4 hours in a crate or 6-8 hours when allowed to roam free in the house while the dog is home alone
- Periodic transport of your foster dog to/from medical appointments, adoption events, and meet and greets with potential adopters
- Updates on how your foster dog is doing, what you have learned about them, and some photos/videos you take
Thank you for your interest in fostering one of our seniors!
