It can be a big decision to adopt a dog and one that is made a little bit easier when you choose to foster to adopt! Fostering to adopt gives you an opportunity to have the dog you are interested in adopting in your home for a trial period, typically about one to two weeks or longer, so that you can decide whether you would like to proceed with adoption.

A highly-populated shelter creates a stressful environment. Fostering benefits pets in a variety of ways: to decompress and relax, to socialize with people and other pets and to learn how to live in a home.

Manatee County Animal Welfare provides fosters all the supplies and needed training. To sign-up to become a dog foster, go to mymanatee.org/fosteradog. For questions or to learn more about the program, please email [email protected] or call 941-742-5933, ext. 8314.
