Foster with A Stone’s throw dog rescue

 

Fosters are an important role in rescue, and we couldn't do it without our fosters homes.

As a volunteer and foster run rescue without a facility, fosters are a dire need in our organization but also we have a limited access to. Fosters prepare our adoptable pets for life in an home environment by providing love, routine, care, basics of crate training , and a safe place to sleep and showcase their personalities.

Foster information

  • Vet care

    ASTDR covers all vet care while your foster is in your home. All we ask is that you are able to get them to their appointments if needed while in your home

  • Supplies

    Fosters do not have to fund basic supplies for their foster pets! ASTDR will get you set up with everything you need, food, crate, litter box, and treats

  • Foster community

    We have a foster/volunteer facebook group where all our fosters can stay in touch, post pictures of their foster pets, or ask questions. This is also where we call out for foster opportunities and post pets that need a foster home.

How to become a foster

 

  • Fill out a foster application so one of our volunteers can complete the pre-screening process.You can expect one of our volunteers to email you within 7-10 business days for additional info, as well as asking for home check photos.

  • Our application processor will email you with our foster coordinator & acting director to set up a foster interview with one of the two. during this video interview our coordinator will gather more info on your household, and why you are wanting to foster. They will go in further detail on what to expect while fostering, as well as give you a brief run down on our protocols

  • We will send you a contract to sign and a link to click and join our foster group. This is where we post the animals needing a foster home
