    Description

    Dog Foster Homes

    New Leash on Life USA is seeking foster homes in the Delaware Valley area. New Leash provides all medical care, supplies, food, and vet transportation while a dog is in foster care. We have four different types of foster opportunities:

    Temporary/Emergency Foster Home Volunteers

    Temporary/emergency foster homes are needed to place dogs who need short term housing, typically 1 - 7 days.

    Long Term Foster Home Volunteers

    Foster homes are needed to place dogs in a stress free and safe environment to keep the dog healthy and adoptable, typically 1 week - 2 months.

    YARD Foster

    Fostering for the YARD (Young Adult Reentry and Diversion) program requires a minimum of an eight-week foster commitment. You and your foster dog will attend Dog Training classes with our Certified Dog Trainer once a week for 8 weeks at our Philadelphia office.

    Foster-to-Adopt

    If you are considering adopting but not sure, fostering is a great way to test-drive dog ownership without the commitment. With that being said, here at New Leash we love foster fails! If you and your foster dog are a great match, then we will be happy to finalize an adoption for you and your dog.

    Is Fostering Right For You?

    You may be a great fit for fostering if you:

    • Have a reliable mode of transportation (preferred but not required)
    • Have a safe home that allows pets
    • Have a lot of love to give!
