Becoming a foster parent is simple!  Let us know you’d like to foster by --> filling out our quick form and we’ll reach out to discuss pets that match your preferences and discuss transport details.  Our only requirements are that you must be at least 18 years old and be able to provide daily basic care (food, water, space in your home, exercise, and basic manners).

While it is your responsibility to communicate regularly with us about your foster pet’s needs, our team manages the scheduling of all preventative treatments and we cover the costs of all veterinary care, including emergency medical expenses.

Each week our team will notify all foster families of pets ready to relocate from the Texas Sanctuary to a home in Minnesota.  We welcome you to select the pet(s) you wish to foster based on your own needs and preferences.  However, keep in mind we ask all foster parents to be flexible and consider prioritizing pets in which fostering will have the greatest impact on their wellbeing.

Be honest and upfront with our team if you have length of stay limitations as our goal is to make sure your foster experience is enjoyable so that you continue opening your home to pets long term with us.  In general, the length of a fostering period varies depending on the pet’s needs and amount of adoption content such as pet personality, biography details, photos and videos taken you provide to us about your foster pet.

Of course!  We love seeing our pets get adopted by loving families!  You will still need to complete the necessary adoption process so we can legally transfer ownership to you and we hope that once your pet is settled, you continue to foster with us!
