Foster Application
*
We are 100% volunteer based, so please be patient with us. We are doing our very best to make sure our animals are well cared for while they are waiting for their forever home!
*
All of our animals are located in a network of foster homes, meaning that we don't have our own property or facility. By signing up to foster, you are helping us grow our rescue!
*
Our foster coordinator usually volunteers on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, so you will usually hear from her on those days. Otherwise, you should expect to hear back from her within 5 business days. This goes for most communications during your time as a Wasatch Wanderers foster. However, if something needs immediate attention, please call 435-915-6632. Make sure to leave a message if there is no answer.
*
We mostly communicate with our fosters via text using our business number (435-915-6632). All of our board members have access to this number.
If text will absolutely not work for you, please let us know here.
*
Once your application is approved, we will send you a foster contract. Once the contract is signed, we will reach out if we have animals that you can foster.
