VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
WHY FOSTER WITH US?
We need foster homes to provide a safe, loving space for a dog until a permanent home is identified. Benefits of fostering include:
- Pawfect Match provides all supplies (crates, toys, food, treats, beds, preventative, pee pads, puppy pens, silly costumes) to their fosters
- Pawfect Match has accounts with all of our veterinary partners -- we pay for dog health care in full
- Pawfect Match vets all applicants thoroughly -- we only introduce you to applicants who are well-qualified, and not just everyone who applies for a dog
- Pawfect Match includes your feedback regarding potential adopters during the application process. We need YOU to feel good about the home
- Pawfect Match fosters get preference in adoption applications. Fosters are the perfect adopters. They love dogs enough to open their homes to them sight-unseen
- Pawfect Match has an amazing online community -- you will be introduced to like-minded individuals in the Raleigh-Durham region with invaluable advice on fostering and living with your own personal dogs
- Each new foster home enables us to save the life of another dog in need. The satisfaction you will gain, knowing you have saved a life is indescribable.
