Welcome to JWR

Foster Application

Thank you for your interest in becoming a foster for Jake's Wish Dog Rescue!

Fostering helps save so many lives and we are always in need of more fosters. Check out our FAQs and before filling out this form please make sure to read the Foster Information/Terms and Conditions page in full. When you submit this application, you are agreeing to our Terms and Conditions. As a reminder, here are the highlights:

You promise to keep a collar and Jake's Wish ID tag on your foster dog at all times.
You promise to keep your foster dog on leash when not in a secured area.
If you're not home, the dog should be inside, not in your yard.
Call us immediately if your foster dog goes missing.
Call us immediately if your foster dog gets sick or injured. We will call our veterinarian to set up care right away.
We like updates! Please be communicative.
We'll loan you supplies and we need them back once your foster dog gets adopted.
Behavior of a new dog can be unpredictable. Let us know ASAP if your foster dog injures a person or animal.

NOTE: Because many people are sheltering in place due to COVID-19, we have had a huge increase in the amount of foster applications we have received. We are so grateful you are excited to help! Please know that we are a small team and we are doing our best to contact as many people as possible, but we are definitely running behind. If you have experience with fostering with us or another organization, please highlight that experience in your foster application. Thanks so much for your patience!
