Foster Guidelines
You must be 18 years or older to adopt or foster an animal. If you rent your home, please be sure to check with your landlord prior to bringing a new pet into your home to make sure there are no breed or weight restrictions for your new pet. If you have roommates be sure to include them in the process, this includes f you have a dog at home! We always encourage you to bring your current dogs along to check compatibility, if not we suggest slow introductions including the crate and rotate method!
Please read the adoption agreement carefully and be sure you are able and ready to care for this animal before bringing it into your home. If you would like to set up a time to meet a few of our fosterable/adoptable pets, our staff specializes in matching dogs that will best fit what you are looking for, while meeting your needs and theirs!
Fill out the "Foster Application" below and an adoption coordinator will be in touch to answer any questions you have, learn more about what type of pet you are looking for, and set up a time for you to meet some adoptable pets! If you have a dog at home, we do encourage you to bring them along to see if the dogs are compatible, if not we suggest slow introductions including the crate and rotate method!
Fostering saves lives, by opening your home, you give a dog time, stability, and a real chance to be seen outside fo the shelter environment. Miles of Hope provides guidance and support every step of the way, so you're not doing it alone. Even a short-term foster can be the difference between a dog being overlook and finally finding their forever home.
Foster Consideration
Adoption is about the right match, not just the moment! When you adopt, you're giving a dog the second chance they deserve while making space for the next life that needs to be saved. Miles of Hope is here to support you through the process, ensuring the match is a good fit for you not just the dog you are looking to save.
