Long-term fostering is an incredibly rewarding experience that helps prepare our dogs for their forever homes. Our primary need for fostering is to provide select dogs with special assistance in preparing to live in a home. Dog fosters are critical in assisting with canine socialization, responsible rehoming, and aiding in a pets’ successful transition for adoption. Caring For Creatures does have a physical shelter, and we only use fostering for animals we feel will need some extra help to prepare for their forever families. Extreme Sleepovers are temporary fostering during times of extreme weather (ie. very hot or very cold). Extreme sleepovers help CFC get dogs into homes until the extreme weather conditions pass, freeing up precious indoor space to keep all dogs safe and comfortable.Is there a specific dog you would like to foster?(Required) Why do you want to foster?(Required)What type of fostering are you interested in?(Required) Extreme Sleepover (times of extreme heat or cold) Long Term (1 month+) Foster InformationName(Required) First Last Address(Required) Street Address Address Line 2 City State / Province / Region ZIP / Postal Code Cell Phone(Required)Home Phone(Required)Email(Required) Are you at least 21 years of age?(Required) Yes No How many adults are in your household?(Required) How many children are in your household?(Required) What are the ages of everyone in your household, including yourself?(Required) Are there children who visit frequently?(Required) Yes No If yes, what are their ages?(Required) Are family members aware that you are considering fostering a dog, and are they willing to spend time with him/her?(Required) Yes No Have you ever been accused or convicted of animal neglect, abuse or cruelty?(Required) Yes No If yes, when?
