"Fur BnB" Host - Temporary Foster Dog Parent

This is a more unique volunteer need than the ones we usually list - The Animal Pad all-breed dog rescue is looking for TEMP FOSTERS located in San Diego, CA! If you would be willing to open your home temporarily to a rescue dog in need and would like to be a "Fur BnB" Host, we want you in our TAP family!!

Since we are a foster-based rescue, our organization would literally be nothing without our incredible foster and temp foster families who are willing to open up their homes (and hearts) to a rescue pup in need. Fosters are truly the reason we are able to do what we do!

Why is fostering so important? - Fostering gives dogs a loving, safe place to stay while awaiting adoption, and it also gives them a big step-up in life. Fostering dogs before they are adopted not only allows rescues and shelters to take in more needy dogs, but it also allows these dogs the chance to begin healing from the scars of their former lives and adjust to being in a home before finding their fur-ever home! Fostering provides them crucial socialization skills and adjustment to new environments, which gives them a greater chance at getting adopted. It’s also a great way to see if adoption is right for you, and to learn how you can prepare yourself for a potential new best friend!

Fostering a dog is a wonderful experience for people who love animals, and is really for anyone who knows they can care for them - even if just temporarily! We ALWAYS have a need for more temp fosters!

The Animal Pad provides all necessary supplies and covers all vet care costs, you just need to provide a safe, warm home, and all of the love and affection that these sweet souls deserve. Us humans are eternally grateful to all of our amazing fosters, but nothing could ever possibly top the undying love and affection of a foster pup whose life you helped save!

"Saving one dog will not change the world, but surely for that one dog, the world will change forever."
