Dog Fosters Needed Today!

Welcome to We Foster Dogs!

Join Our Community of Homeowners Making a Difference

We believe that fostering a pet is not just about providing a temporary home—it’s about saving lives and creating lifelong memories. As a homeowner, you have the unique opportunity to make a significant impact in your community by becoming a foster parent.

Why foster?

If you’re thinking about fostering a dog, here are several compelling reasons why you should consider taking this rewarding step:

Flexibility: Fostering offers a flexible commitment that can fit into any lifestyle. Whether you have a few hours for a foster field trip or a few months for a longer-term stay, we have options that suit your schedule.
No Long-Term Commitment: Enjoy the companionship of a pet without the long-term commitment. Fostering is perfect for those who love animals but are not ready for a permanent adoption.
Support and Resources: We provide all necessary supplies and resources, including food, medical care, and training guides, to ensure a smooth fostering experience.

Overcoming Barriers

We understand that fostering can seem daunting, but here are some ways we help overcome common barriers:

Cost Concerns: Memphis Animal Services covers all essential costs, including food and medical care, so you can focus on providing love and care.
Time Constraints: With various fostering options, you can choose a commitment level that fits your busy lifestyle. From short-term field trips to longer stays, there’s something for everyone.
Lack of Experience: No prior experience is necessary! We offer comprehensive training and support to help you confidently care for your foster pet.

Benefits of Fostering

When you open your home to a pet in need, fostering a dog can bring joy and companionship to various lifestyles:

Families with Kids: Dogs can teach children responsibility, empathy, and compassion. They also provide endless fun and energy, making them perfect playmates.
Single Homeowners: A dog can offer companionship and security, making your home feel warmer and more welcoming.
Couples: Caring for a dog together can strengthen your bond and provide shared experiences and memories.
Anyone Who Works from Home: Dogs can reduce stress and increase productivity by encouraging regular breaks and physical activity.

What is a Pledge?

A pledge is an incentive for a rescue to pull a dog from a shelter. The pledges will go to the rescue for that specific dog’s expenses, mostly for their medical needs.
