Become a Foster

Join the Foster Team

Inviting an animal into your home for short-term care is one of the most rewarding ways that you can help a pet in need. Choosing to become a foster parent is a decision that can feel overwhelming and exhilarating all at once— which is why our team is here to guide new foster volunteers through the process. Learn more about the foster program on the About Fostering page. If you have any questions regarding our foster volunteer opportunities, contact us at foster@anticruelty.org.

If you’re ready to begin your journey as a foster volunteer, follow these steps: 

Step 1: Click here to go the Foster Application and follow the directions on the page.

Step 2: Watch the Foster Orientation Video 

Step 3: Complete the short quiz 

Step 4: Select Your First Foster
Once foster orientation is complete, new fosters are invited to visit the Foster Candidate page to select a foster candidate who would potentially be a good match. Once a foster candidate is chosen, the foster parent emails the foster team with the name and animal ID of the animal to express their interest.
