Would You Like to be a Foster Parent for a Rescue Dog?

We are in need of volunteer foster families for our Forever Home Rescue dogs coming from the south each week. Our dogs are rescued from overpopulated shelters where dogs are euthanized if homes are not found for them. We like to bring a few dogs north each week to homes in New England where prospective adopters can meet the dog prior to deciding whether to adopt. We can arrange transportation for the dog to your home if it is not possible for you to pick the dog up at the transport (RI and CT) or at the MA quarantine facility. We then send prospective adopters to meet the dog at your home at times that are convenient for you. Most of the time the first applicant we send ends up taking the dog home! The average length of time that a dog stays in a foster home is two to three weeks (much less for pups, a little longer sometimes for older dogs). If you had to go away, we can arrange to move the dog to another foster.

If you would like to become a foster parent, please download the foster application and mail it to the address at the top. If you have any questions about becoming a foster parent, you can email us.

Thank you for even considering fostering!
