Foster — Knick Knack Pittie Pack

Foster Application

Please Read Before Proceeding *

The primary reason for foster care is to provide a temporary home for an adoptable animal who has been taken into our program after being rescued. Although previous fostering experience is not required, ideal foster care provider will have basic knowledge of animal care and training and be committed to preparing their foster animal for a safe and loving "forever home". As a foster care provider, you will care for the animal, giving proper food, water, shelter, training, grooming and love and attention. Fostering an animal is a wonderful and rewarding experience but can also be time consuming and hard work. Please seriously consider all of the aspects of the foster care program before deciding to apply to foster. All first-time foster care providers must complete the following application. All adults living in the household must be listed on the application. All information must be filled out. If a field does not apply to you, please type N/A. By submitting a complete application, I understand/ consent that a background check will be completed and references will be contacted. If any issues arise from a background check or reference contacts may result in a denial of the application. All applications are subject to board approval.

Fostering is a very important part of Knick Knack Pittie Pack! The more foster homes we have, the more lives we are able to save.

A foster home helps a dog learn how to be a dog. They will be integrated into a house and family, and reminded what love is! That is the most important job a foster has!
