Become a Foster

Fur Fun is a foster-based rescue, and that means every dog who comes to us is welcomed into a real home, not a kennel. We can only save a dog when we have a foster family ready to open their door—and their heart—to them. Most of our dogs come directly from shelters where their time is running out. Some were found wandering alone. Some were left behind in night-drop boxes. Some were surrendered by families who loved them but could no longer care for them.

No matter how they arrived there, every one of them is scared. Confused. Hoping for a second chance.

A foster home changes everything. Instead of loud kennels, they get quiet nights. Instead of fear, they learn trust. Instead of wondering what comes next, they begin to feel safe again.

That’s why we take so much care in matching each dog with the right foster family. Our application asks about your home, your pets, your schedule—not to be picky, but because we want the experience to be joyful and successful for both you and the dog you’re helping. And you’ll never be alone in the process. From the moment a new foster dog enters your home to the day they leave for their forever family, we are with you every step of the way.

Fostering with Fur Fun doesn’t cost you a thing—except love. We cover all medical care through our partner vets. We provide food, toys, kennels, and flea, tick, and heartworm prevention. Our volunteers are here to support you with training, socialization, and anything else you need.

A dog’s time in foster can be a few weeks or a few months.
But the transformation you help create?
That lasts forever.
