Foster an Animal
A foster home is a short-term safe haven for a rescued dog or cat. It is a place for a rescued animal to polish his or her manners, to learn some new skills, and to prepare for a new home. Foster homes are a critical component of our program and our fosters are some of the most amazing folks on earth. Check them out yourself by clicking the link below to see a short video.

Please consider becoming a foster parent. By taking just one needy rescue animal into your home, you are making the difference between life and death. Your commitment creates a space for us to take another dog or cat out of the shelter and save another life.
If you have any questions regarding our foster program, please email us at foster@lostdogrescue.org.
If you are interested in fostering one of our dogs or cats, please complete a Dog Foster Application or a Cat Foster Application. Someone will contact you within 48 hours thereafter regarding your application.
YOU can help us save lives. A few hours of your time could mean a happy ending for a homeless animal. Please join us in our efforts to turn “lost” dogs and cats into beloved family members.
