East Coast Adoption Agency Fosters Application

Step 1 of 4

0%
  • Thank you for your interest in fostering a dog or dogs with East Coast Adoption Agency!

    We take the responsibility of fostering an animal very seriously and not all applications for fostering can be approved.

    To start the process, we’ll need you to fill out this multi-part application. It may seem like we are asking for a lot of information and we do. But only to ensure all of our doggies end up in the best foster home possible.

    Your information is protected and we don't sell or rent it to anybody.

    Ready? Let's go!

  • Please indicate your preference for the type of dogs you would be interested in fostering.
  • Please let us know how many puppies you can or would be able to foster at any given time.
  • If currently retired or unemployed, please state that here. This field can not be empty. Employment or lack of it is not a reason for denial of your application.
  • Please tell us why you wish to become a foster for East Coast Adoption Agency?

  • Do you rent or own your residence? We ask because renters must have their landlords permission to foster a dog. At the end of this application process, if you've indicated that you rent, we'll have a form you can use to get your landlords permission if needed. Or, you can click HERE to download it now.
  • If you rent or lease your home we will need you to download and have signed, our Landlord Consent Form. This is a requirement. You may download right now, right HERE.
  • Are you OK with letting people visit the dog at your home or designated area/location?
  • Do you have a fenced yard? (Not a deal breaker)
  • You've indicated that you were previously declined for an adoption or for fostering an animal. Please tell us where and why.
  • You've indicated that you have been previously declined for an adoption or fostering. Please list the agency.
  • Are you able to keep your pets apart from the foster dog(s) if needed?
  • Have you ever had an application declined for adoption or for fostering an animal from an animal welfare group/animal control facility?
  • Have you had any previous experience as a foster? Can you tell us about it?
  • Have you adopted a dog from us in the past?
  • You've indicated that you have previously adopted a dog from us. Please tell us Which dog(s)
  • Do you have any restrictions on the kind of dog you would foster? (ie. must be house trained, breed, size, etc..)
  • If needed, are you willing and able to give certain medications to your foster dog(s)?
  • Does any member of the family have any allergies to animals?
  • Do you have children in your household? Please include visiting children, grandchildren, etc.
  • Please list the age(s) of the children in the household or that will be visiting the household and/or interacting with the dog on a regular basis. This helps us to make sure that dogs that should not be adopted to homes with children aren't.
  • Who will take care of the dog in the absence of the primary caretaker? Do you have someone able and willing to handle the responsibilities of fostering your dogs should you have to go out of town?
  • Do you have any current pets?
  • You've indicated that you currently own a pet(s). How many do you have right now.
  • Please tell us about your current pets breed(s)
  • Are your current pets spayed/neutered (fixed)?
  • Please list each vet or animal hospital where your pet(s) have received care over the past 5 years. Please put NA if this does not apply to you.
  • Please tell us the name of your current vet or the vet that will be used for your new pet.
  • Have you owned or do you currently own other types of animals, besides pets? (For example, horses, chickens, goats, unicorns, dragons. etc.)
  • How many hours a day will the dog be left unattended, (for example, while you are working).
  • Please Note: When people talk to us about fostering a dog, the first thing we ask is how much time they have available to spend with the dog. It’s important to remember that dogs are social animals. There’s a reason we call them our best friends: They are wired to spend time with us, watch us and help us. It’s hard for dogs to become great at their job of companion if they don’t ever spend any time in our company.

    That’s not to say you shouldn’t foster a dog if you work — far from it. We all need a friendly face to come home to at the end of the day. A dog is a friend who is always there to greet you, play with you and exercise you. (You didn’t think this was a one-way relationship, did you?)

    But not many of us can spend all day with our foster dogs, although it would be a great world if we could. We have work, school, family obligations, friends and other commitments in our lives. So we've put together some tips on our website that you can read on how you can make your dog’s life better — enrich it, — even when you’re not home.

  • Where will the dog be kept for extended periods of time, such as workdays?
  • When you are home, where will the dog be kept?
  • If your application is approved, when is the earliest date you would be able to begin fostering?

  • Almost Finished!

    We know we have a long application but that's only to insure all of our precious dogs go to good homes and... You're almost done! We just need you to answer a couple more yes/no questions that will finish up your application.

    You MUST be able to answer yes to the following questions for your application to be considered.
  • Are you familiar with your local animal control laws?
  • Have ALL family members and/or other people that live in your home, agreed to fostering dogs in your home?
  • I understand and agree that one of the requirements for fostering is that the potential adopters will be visiting my home or a designated location for pre-adoption visits and to pick up the dog.

  • By typing my full name below, I certify that the the information I have provided is true and correct.

    I understand that by my submitting this application I am not guaranteed nor does East Coast Adoption Agency promise to provide me with the dog of my choice.

    I Agree that I may be declined for any reason and that adoption approval is at the sole discretion of the foster AFTER I have had the opportunity to meet the dog.

    Further, I understand that under no circumstances does East Coast Adoption Agency provide refunds if, for whatever reason, I return the dog or the dog has medical issues unknown to East Coast Adoption Agency or it's fosters and I understand that under those circumstances all I am entitled to is a replacement dog of my choice.
  • I certify that all information submitted on this form is true and correct and that providing mis-information may be grounds for denial of adoption.
  • PLEASE NOTE: Pressing the submit button will begin your adoption process. If successful you will be taken to our success page where you can return to our main website,

Be sure to check us out on Facebook for all the latest information.

We are a small rescue group operating in the New York area that rescues dogs from high kill shelters and southern rescues. This means a majority of dogs admitted there are euthanized due to lack of space, in an overpopulated area. We do not acquire animals from anywhere else besides these shelters we have worked with for years..
