Thank you for considering fostering through I Heart Dogs Rescue during our Shelter Shutdown! Please complete the following form in it's entirety. Below are a list of guidelines we ask that you be able to follow:

Foster commitment: June 19–26, 2026 (pick-up/return may be flexible)

Dog must be kept separated from other pets in the home — we aren't able to do compatibility introductions beforehand, so separation keeps everyone safe.

You'll be matched with a dog based on your form — note any specific dog requests

Check your email/spam — you'll hear back within 1–2 days.

All fosters leave with food, toys, bowls, leash, and a crate (if needed).
