Become A Foster

Fostering a rescue dog is a deeply rewarding experience that provides a safe and loving environment while they wait for their forever home. If you’re interested in fostering with Wolf Dog & Northern Breed Rescue, please fill out the application below, and we will get back to you as soon as possible.

We are incredibly grateful to those who open their hearts and homes to dogs who just need a little more time to feel safe and understood. Your kindness and patience make all the difference in their journey toward a new life, and we couldn’t do this work without compassionate fosters like you.

What to Expect as a Foster

As a foster, you provide a temporary home, love, and basic care while we cover veterinary costs and offer support. We match dogs based on your lifestyle and experience to ensure a good fit. Our team is here to guide you every step of the way.

How To Submit A Request for Help

Please copy and paste the Q&A section below into an email, complete all answers with as much detail as possible, attach clear photos of the dog, and email everything to info@wdnbrescue.org.

To begin the owner rehoming process and create a profile for your animal, a $150 rehoming support donation is required. It can be sent to our Zelle which is info@wdnbrescue.org.This non- refunable donation covers the time and resources involved in providing our rehoming services. While we make every reasonable effort to find an appropriate home, placement cannot be guaranteed.
