How fostering works
Five steps, from profile to placement.
- 1
Create your foster profile
Tell us about your home, the animals you can care for, medical care you're comfortable with, and when you're available. You do this once.
- 2
Find an animal
Browse animals shelters have listed for foster. Each listing shows the shelter, expected duration and any care needs.
- 3
Answer that shelter's questions
Shelters add their own screening questions. Your core profile is reused, and the shelter reviews you itself — nobody is approved automatically.
- 4
Hear back and get placed
Track your application status and message the shelter. When approved, the animal is reserved for you.
- 5
Coordinate care
Vet visits, vaccines, pickups and check-ins appear on your calendar with reminders. Confirm each appointment in one tap.
