Foster
Make a difference
Oahu's homeless dogs desperately need your help.
Each day we are turning away calls to take in abandoned dogs because we do not have enough qualified fosters. By providing a temporary, loving home, you’re giving a dog the chance to heal, learn, and prepare for their fur-ever family.
Fostering is one of the most rewarding ways to help rescue dogs in need. Fur-Angel Foundation provides all the basic supplies and medical care. Your job is to transport your foster to appointments and love him/her as your own!

Steps to becoming a foster
1. Fill out foster application above.
2. Schedule a virtual in-home tour and complete the “Foster Checklist” with coordinator.
3. Familiarize yourself with policies and procedures (see application & checklist)
*ALL FAF dogs are spayed/neutered before adoption.
4. Start fostering!
**Fostering timeframe can vary from a minimum of 30 days to potentially a few months, depending on each individual circumstance
*Disclaimer* The foster dog’s health and behavior has been accurately represented to the foster parent, to the best possible knowledge of FAF. Due to the state in which many of our dogs are found (i.e. abandoned, homeless, etc.) FAF cannot, and does not, make any guarantees as to the health, temperament, mental disposition, or training of the dog. As a precaution, keep your pets separate from the foster dog until they have been medically cleared by a veterinarian. Unvaccinated dogs are at risk of disease, so please check with coordinator for further instructions on how to keep your foster safe. FAF shall not be held liable for any illnesses or defects the dog may have or develop, or for any injury or damage that the dog may cause.
