Foster Application

We need foster parents to love and care for the animals rescued from shelters until they are adopted. The duration of foster care can range from a couple of days to several weeks or more for pets with special needs. Each additional foster volunteer allows LGAR to save one more companion pet and help it to find a loving forever home.

For families considering adoption but not yet sure, fostering provides an opportunity to try out the new addition before making a long-term adoption commitment.

Please provide detailed information for ALL questions. Incomplete applications will not be processed.

Please note: We reserve the right to refuse foster to anyone. Please be advised that we will not approve foster applications to persons who mislead or fail to provide accurate information on this application.
