Foster Application

The dog needs to be kept inside, and treated as a member of the family. Please be patient with our dogs. They have all come from situations where they have never known to depend on humans for love and comfort. While they crave this love and comfort, they may not know how to go about getting it. They have spent their lives chained or penned outside away from their human families, and have to learn how to behave in a way we want them to. All of our dogs are extremely grateful to have been given a second chance at life, and we feel they deserve to live a life filled with love and happiness. Please notify us immediately if the dog runs away or gets lost. Dogs Deserve Better is responsible for finding a home for the dog, and the foster family must not place him/her in a home that has not been through the Dogs Deserve Better adoption process. We do, however, appreciate all help you can give us to find an appropriate home. If you find a potential home, please have them fill out an adoption form and forward it us to process and do a home visit. While Dogs Deserve Better will make every effort to help match you with a safe and nondestructive dog, they are living creatures and thus unpredictable and we cannot be held responsible for any damage to either person or property caused by the foster dog.
