Dog Foster Application Dog Foster Application Step 1 of 3 33% SAVE’s Foster Program is designed to be an extension of the shelter that connects caring people with animals in need. Our goal is to provide temporary loving homes for a potentially adoptable animal whose current condition may not be manageable in a shelter setting. Previous fostering experience is not required. If you are able to provide the care they need, we will provide you with all the necessary training to do so. As a foster care provider, you will be tasked with providing your foster dog or puppy with care including housing, water, training, socialization and regular grooming as needed. Fosters are not expected to provide medical care for their foster pet. SAVE will provide any necessary care and reimburse fosters for any pre-approved expenses. We ask that fosters care for the dog as if the dog were their own. Your feedback can help us determine which family is best for your foster once they are available for adoption, or if they already are. Fostering a shelter animal can be time-consuming depending on what case you take on, but it is a wonderful, rewarding experience overall. Please seriously consider all aspects of fostering before deciding to apply to foster. If you are still interested, all potential foster care providers are required to complete the following application and be approved by a SAVE manager before moving on to the online foster orientation. Please understand that SAVE reserves the right to reject any applicant for any reason.Date(Required) MM slash DD slash YYYY Name(Required) First Last Address(Required) Street Address Address Line 2 City State AlabamaAlaskaAmerican SamoaArizonaArkansasCaliforniaColoradoConnecticutDelawareDistrict of ColumbiaFloridaGeorgiaGuamHawaiiIdahoIllinoisIndianaIowaKansasKentuckyLouisianaMaineMarylandMassachusettsMichiganMinnesotaMississippiMissouriMontanaNebraskaNevadaNew HampshireNew JerseyNew MexicoNew YorkNorth CarolinaNorth DakotaNorthern Mariana IslandsOhioOklahomaOregonPennsylvaniaPuerto RicoRhode IslandSouth CarolinaSouth DakotaTennesseeTexasUtahU.S. Virgin IslandsVermontVirginiaWashingtonWest VirginiaWisconsinWyomingArmed Forces AmericasArmed Forces EuropeArmed Forces Pacific ZIP Code Your email address(Required) Enter Email Confirm Email Home PhoneCell PhoneBest time to reach you(Required)9:30 AM10:00 AM10:30 AM11:00 AM11:30 AM12:00 PM12:30 PM1:00 PM1:30 PM2:00 PM2:30 PM3:00 PM3:30 PM4:00 PM4:30 PM5:00 PM Are you at least 18 years old?
