REAL GOOD fosters wanted

Fostering is the heart of Real Good Rescue. Every foster begins with the same thoughtful vetting process as our adopters — a detailed application, a virtual meeting, and a home check to ensure the right environment and support system are in place. In some cases, especially when a dog is still at the shelter, our team will meet the dog in advance to help determine the best match.

Fosters typically care for a dog anywhere from four weeks to two years, depending on the dog’s needs and adoption timeline. Real Good Rescue covers all medical care and provides every essential — from crate, bed, and leash to food and training support — while fosters help with transport to and from vet appointments, attend adoption events, and send quality photos and videos for networking. We also provide a comprehensive foster website filled with guidance on topics like crate training, separation anxiety, integration, and communication. Once approved, fosters gain access to that platform, complete the necessary contracts and checklists, and review our foster handbook.

With hands-on support, open communication, and trusted trainers by your side, fostering with Real Good Rescue means changing a dog’s life — and often your own — for the better.
