Become a Foster
Our foster program allows us to better prepare dogs for adoption into permanent homes. It is a wonderful and rewarding way to help needy animals in the Dallas area.
When you become a foster parent, you are providing PAWS the opportunity to save a dog at risk of euthanasia. The number of dogs we are able to save is directly related to the number of foster parents we have.
Our dogs are carefully matched with foster parents for an optimal situation based on both the dog’s and family’s needs. Foster parents provide a safe and loving environment and we take care of everything else. Join our team today!

Show Love
Offering your home temporarily is a powerful way to show love to animals in need. Your kindness helps bridge the gap until they find their forever home, while also inspiring others to engage in pet welfare.
Save Lives
Becoming a pet foster means you play a critical role in reducing shelter overcrowding and preventing euthanasia. By offering a temporary, loving home, you give animals a second chance while freeing up space for other pets in need.
Feel Fulfilled
Fostering pets provides a deep sense of emotional reward. You’ll experience the joy of unconditional love and witness firsthand the transformative power of care, which can brighten even the toughest days.
Build Bonds
When you foster, you build unique relationships with animals who rely on you for comfort and stability. These bonds not only enrich your life but also connect you with a community of fellow animal lovers.
Learn Compassion
Taking on the role of a pet foster teaches invaluable lessons in empathy and responsibility. It challenges you to nurture, understand, and patiently care for animals recovering from past traumas or neglect.
Support Local
By fostering, you directly support local rescue organizations and shelters. Your commitment helps alleviate resource constraints, allowing these organizations to focus on providing specialized care and saving more animals in need.
