Foster with Us

Project Second Chance has many great dogs in need of a short term foster home as we work to find them the perfect family. If you are above the age of 21 and interested in fostering, please complete the below form and we will be in touch.

Project Second Chance’s foster program provides animals a caring, loving place to live until they are adopted. Volunteer fosters provide care for animals in their home, including feeding, socializing, medicating, grooming, and training foster animals according to the guidelines set forth by PSC.

PSC will provide foster parents with nearly everything their foster(s) will require, while the foster will provide the love, patience, and dedication their foster will need to prepare for a forever home and flourish. Foster parents will provide all required care to the animal(s) in accordance with PSC's policies and return them to a PSC representative at any time upon request of PSC.

If you would like to foster with PSC, please provide the following information. After review of your application, a PSC volunteer will reach out and set up an interview. Please note that fosters must complete PSC's adoption procedures to be considered for adoption prior to the fostering period. Fostering does not guarantee adoptions as we place our rescues with the best fit, not the first applicant.
