Volunteer Application

Salt Lake City Area - Dog Foster

Introduction/Description

Why fostering is important
By opening your home to an animal in need, you allow us to rescue other at-risk animals from Utah shelters. We have a fixed kennel capacity at our center and rely on fosters to maximize our lifesaving efforts.

How it works
We've tailored our foster program to make it as easy and fun as possible. Discover how incredibly fulfilling it can be to foster a pet!

As a foster, you provide the space and time to care for the pet. We’ll give you all the food, supplies, and medical support the animal will need while in your care.

Our team will pair you with an animal that best matches your abilities and home environment. We’ll also take your resident pets into consideration.

Note

If you need service hours to satisfy court-ordered community service, please apply to the Volunteer position. Foster hours do not count toward your time.
