Foster a Dog

Give a rescued dog a safe home while we find their forever family

Be a Dog Fosterer

Open your home and save a life

We are a shelter-less rescue organisation. Our foster families are the heart of everything we do. They give homeless puppies and dogs a safe, loving space to prepare for their forever homes.

Fostering takes patience, love, and courage. But the impact you make lasts a lifetime. With every new foster home, another dog gets a second chance.

Fostering Criteria

Please make sure you meet all criteria before applying

01

Fosterers must be 18 years and above

If you are between 18 and 21, a parent's or guardian's consent is required.

02

Entire household and landlord consent required

Everyone in the household must agree. Young puppies may chew, bark, or have accidents. If you are renting, your landlord's consent is also needed.

03

Minimum 1-month foster period

Fostering is usually 1 to 3 months depending on the dog's health and adoption progress. We need 3 weeks' notice if you are unable to continue.

04

Safe and secure home environment

Your home must be dog-proofed. Balconies and gates must be secured. Shoes, cables, and small objects should be kept out of reach.

Common Questions

Do I need experience to foster a dog?

Not always. Some dogs need experienced fosterers, but many are suitable for first-timers. We will match you based on your home setup and comfort level.

What if the dog barks a lot or is destructive?

This is common with rescues, especially puppies. We will guide you on managing behaviour. Patience and routine make a big difference.

Can I foster if I already have pets?

Often yes, but introductions must be slow and careful. Please tell us about your current pets so we can match you with a suitable dog.

Who pays for vet fees?

All medical fees are covered by Purely Adoptions. You just need to bring the dog to our designated vet clinics when needed.
