Foster Home Application

Some of our animals reside in foster homes. SFAR could definitely use more homes. In the Foster Home the dogs are a part of an actual family. This enables each dog to become well socialized with other dogs (big, small, young, and old) and people (including children). This interaction provides a healthier environment for the dog, ultimately enabling a smoother transition into an adoptive home where children and other dogs are likely.
