Foster care

Offerthehomethatcomesbeforethefamily

Before finding their forever family, a rescued dog needs a place to breathe, regain strength, and rediscover the gentleness of a home. You are not adopting them. You are offering the stepping stone, that passage between the shelter and adoption that changes everything.

« The day your foster leaves with their family, it is a goodbye. It is also a space that opens up, and another dog who can finally leave the shelter. »

What a foster family does

I open my door

What an open door changes

A dog does not relearn family life at the shelter. They relearn it in your home, at their own pace, in the ordinary noise of a house.

You offer the home and the time. The association covers food and all veterinary costs: you pay nothing out of pocket.

Every foster home frees up a place at the shelter. Your open door means another dog can be rescued.

You watch a dog transform before your eyes. Few experiences leave a mark this clear.

Fostering is not quarantine

A foster family is not an isolation room. Every rescued dog arrives sterilized, vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, with blood work done and an up-to-date health record. What you welcome is recovery and adjustment: a dog learning the home, the leash, trust. You share your daily life, not a closed room.

Who does what

What you offer

A suitable home, house or apartment, ideally with a fenced outdoor space.
Time and patience: a rescued dog takes around ten weeks on average to settle in.
A monthly update with a few photos, so the team can follow their progress and needs.
The willingness to understand them, with support from our trainer and volunteers.

What the association covers

Food and all veterinary costs.
Medical follow-up and behavior guidance.
Constant contact with the team, never alone with a question.
Finding their forever family and organizing the adoption.

We talk

A volunteer calls you back, gets to know your routine, and finds the dog who fits you.

You meet them

Your foster joins you at a pickup point. Their stay begins.

You foster

You offer the home and the time. A monthly update with photos, and the team stays by your side.

Their family arrives

When adoption comes, it is a moving goodbye. And a place that reopens for the next one.

I open my door

Leave us your details. A member of the team will get back to you shortly to get acquainted.

One more door, one more life

80 foster families have already opened theirs. Every available home is one more dog leaving the shelter. The next could regain their strength with you.
