Foster Policy


Rescue Dog Village, LLC is an all-volunteer organization. Everyone involved donates their time to seeking homes for these wonderful dogs. We do not have a paid staff, an office or kennel. Every effort is made to match a Dog in need with the right home. Our fosters enable us to do this better by providing us with invaluable information on the habits, personalities and needs of each dog fostered.


Fostering is a very rewarding experience and helps a rescue effort greatly. Our foster program is very simple. We follow basically the same process as adoption but instead of signing an adoption contract; a foster contract is signed.


Fosters cannot adopt the dogs they foster. To become a RDV foster you first must apply. Please complete the application only if you are SERIOUS and READY for the commitment of fostering a dog. Once we receive your application we will call your vet to ensure all your pets are current on vaccinations and preventatives; call you for a phone interview; and finally, set up a home visit so that we can get a good idea of the type of dogs who would be best for you to foster. This also helps you get to know us better and we can answer any questions that you may have. If you do not hear from us, it does not mean that you are not approved, sometimes we cannot match foster dogs to your home and lifestyle; our rescue dogs need special attention and training.


We expect that if you offer your home for fostering, it is with the understanding that you are working toward helping a deserving Dog find a final home, and not with the goal to "pick and choose" a Dog you may wish to adopt.


If you would like to help us with this huge undertaking by providing a temporary home to a Dog in need, please fill out our Foster Application by clicking the "Continue" link below.
