Mini Mutts Rescue Foster Application


Thank you for considering FOSTERING for our rescue. People like you help us to keep our rescue going and help us save many more dogs. Upon receiving your application, we may contact you for further information. Please be as specific and detailed as possible. The more we know about you, the easier it will be to match a foster dog to you and your family and lifestyle. Remember, we reserve the right to deny an application for ANY or NO reason. Our goal is to provide safe and loving foster homes for our babies in order that they may grow to trust and love humans again. This experience prepares the foster dog for his/her new forever home.
