Working from home? Foster a dog and help us open up space to save another!

Save to Favorites

Every dog fostered means another dog we can save! We operate out of a central shelter location and can house up to about 40 dogs, so every dog we can get a foster home for means we can make space to take in another! We often take dogs out of bad situations like breeding operations and abuse situations. A lot of these dogs need TLC and care from us. But! We also take in tons of dogs who are wonderful at home and also are needing fosters. No matter how easy or difficult they may be to take care of, everyone could use a nice space at home instead of the shelter runs.

If you're home more often for the next coming months (or even just weeks), please contact us or visit our website at www.vida4animals.org/foster/ for more information + application.

We provide ALL of the supplies necessary (and you can request for more as needed). You are, of course, welcome to order things and bring things around the house for your animal. If you've never owned a dog before, we are here for you to give advice all day long! We can carry you through the process as much as you need it. All dogs are also vetted before going home and will have a collar with our tags on it in the case that something happens.

If things aren't working out with your foster pet, you can take them back to our shelter and either put a pause on fostering for a while (it's okay!) or take in a different dog/cat (Yes, cats also really need foster homes).

In terms of COVID-19 exposure, our shelter is closed to the public and only takes adoptions by appointment. No volunteers are allowed on premises and only a tiny handful of staff members are working to keep us in operation for the sake of these babies!
