    Description

    Dog Foster

    We rescue abandoned, homeless, abused, neglected, and otherwise unwanted dogs with the ultimate goal of finding each one a stable and loving forever home. Many of these animals would otherwise be euthanized if they were not rescued. We are only able to rescue animals for which we have an available foster home.

    Fostering entails opening your home and heart to a companion animal in-need. There is no cost to you other than your time. Twin Cities Pet Rescue provides all the supplies, support, and vetting for our foster animals. We ask you to provide a structured, safe, and loving home for the foster animal until a "furever" home is found.

    As a foster home, you also provide:

    • Transportation for your foster animal to vetting appointments, adoption events, or meet and greets
    • Training and socializing for your foster animal
    • Information and updates to Twin Cities Pet Rescue about your foster animal

    DOG FOSTERING PROCESS

    To foster a dog from Twin Cities Pet Rescue, you must:

    1. Complete an online foster home application here: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/foster/TCPR/Dog
    2. Your form will be reviewed by one of our foster coordinators. We will respond to your foster home application within 72 hours.
    3. Complete a virtual home visit. If your application to foster is accepted, a virtual home visit is then scheduled and completed.
    4. Begin Fostering! After a home visit is complete, you can begin fostering and helping to save the life of a dog in need.
