How did you hear about us?
Have you fostered before? If so, tell us about it!

How long can you commit to fostering?

Our aim is for a dog to leave the shelter and never go back. With ample notice, we do our best to find coverage from a pool of LAAS approved fosters. We understand that fosters may have work trips, family vacations, or events they need to attend out of town, so with 6 weeks notice (or more!) we will do our best to help find coverage.
If you already have time away planned, please provide the details:
What energy level is best for you?

I understand that DCLA will suggest a foster dog for me based on fit first and then take into account any breed or aesthetic preferences.
All foster dogs need to learn things such as house, crate, leash walking and may bark, cry, or have accidents in the house at first.
*
Fostering is about helping a dog get out of the shelter and into a home, it requires work, patience, consistency, and compassion! I can make it to at least 4 leash walking classes and regularly attend weekly zoom check-ins until the team feels my foster dog is settled.

I shall indemnify and hold harmless DCLA and its successors and assigns (and its and their officers, directors, employees, sublicensees, agents and volunteers) from and against any and all losses, liabilities, damages, settlements, expenses and costs (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and court costs) arising out of the performance of or with relation to any of the work or services to be performed of furnished by this agreement, including, without limitation, any third-party claims relating to any injury or illness associated with services.

It is very common for dogs to have viruses or parasites in the shelter, so we highly recommend that dogs get a fecal test soon after they leave the shelter (especially if there are multiple dogs in the home). Negative fecal tests are also required for the dog to attend any playgroups. At our reduced rate, the tests are usually approximately $60.
