Please sign up to add yourself to our "Foster Roster" through Foster Dogs Incorporated; we will contact you if a great potential foster dog for you becomes available from our local participating rescue organizations.

Learn more about our Foster Roster.

Fostering a dog is not always easy. There may be challenging moments when caring for a new dog, but remember that it should get easier in time, and that your foster dog needs you. When you commit to fostering for a certain duration of time, please keep your word (barring true emergencies). There may be chewed shoes, there may be accidents, and you might be woken up at odd hours sometimes. It's normal! When you receive our Foster Roster plea to foster a dog, we ask that you have an open mind and open heart! Fostering is not always easy, but it's pretty amazing.

PARTICIPATION & REMOVAL:

You will typically receive a maximum of one Foster Roster outreach weekly. Foster Dogs may remove you from our list after long-term inactivity. You may request to be removed from the Foster Roster at any time by emailing us with your request at roster@fosterdogsnyc.com.

APPLICATION PROCESS & RESCUE LIABILITY:

While we will keep track of the progress of any dog on our site, we do not handle the foster (or adoption) approval process, as that is the duty of the participating rescue organization.
