Become a Foster Hero

Your home could be the bridge between rescue and forever.

Why Fostering Matters

Many of the dogs who come into our rescue come from stressful or unpredictable environments. They may be scared, overwhelmed, or unsure of how to navigate the world. A foster home gives them the chance to decompress, learn routines, gain confidence, and get ready for adoption.

Fostering helps us:

Save dogs who are out of time in shelters
Provide individualized care and training
Understand each dog’s personality
Match them with the right forever home

And it helps the dog:

Feel safe for the first time in a long time
Learn how to live in a home environment
Build trust with humans again
Grow emotionally and behaviorally
Heal at their own pace

Benefits for Dog & Foster

For the Dog

Fostering gives a dog the time, stability, and patience they need to decompress from stressful situations. In a calm home, dogs learn routines, rebuild confidence, and begin to trust again. Many show their true personalities for the first time once they feel safe.

For You as a Foster

Fostering is one of the most rewarding ways to make an impact. You get to watch a dog transform, celebrate their progress, and play a direct role in preparing them for a forever home. It’s companionship with purpose and joy.

Why It Matters

When you foster, you open space for us to rescue another dog who may be out of time. Your home becomes the bridge between rescue and adoption. You’re not just helping one dog, you’re helping the next one waiting for a chance.

What You Provide

As a foster home, you offer:

A safe and loving place to stay
Routine and structure
Basic training and socialization
Observation and updates so we can match the dog with the right adopter
Transportation to vet appointments or meet-and-greets (if possible)

You don’t need to be an expert: just patient, consistent, and willing to love a dog who needs you.

What We Provide

Bully World and Friends Foundation supports you every step of the way. We provide:

Food
Crate and essential supplies
Veterinary care and medications
Training guidance
Behavioral support
A direct point of contact for questions
Promotion and screening of adopters

We never want our fosters to feel alone in the process. We work together as a team.
