Foster a pet

Tell us about your home and availability so we can match foster pets.

Step 1 of 8

Welcome to the foster application

Please read this information before you start.

Thank you for your interest in fostering through Barking Mad. Foster families provide temporary, loving homes for dogs and cats while we prepare them for adoption or recovery.

This application helps us understand your household, home, experience, and availability so we can match you with animals who will thrive in your care. Every application is reviewed by our team.

Barking Mad is not a physical shelter — we coordinate foster placements across our rescue network. Fostering is a commitment to provide daily care, transport to vet appointments when needed, and return the animal when requested.

Please allow 15–20 minutes to complete the form. You can go back to change answers before submitting.
