Can’t Adopt? Foster instead!

We are looking for foster homes in Toronto, NYC, and Portland for Korean rescue dogs. 

If you are an experienced dog lover or interested in helping rescue dogs from Korea, we welcome you to join our Free Korean Dogs foster network.

It takes generally between 1-4 weeks for a foster dog to find his or her forever home. We provide dog food, a collar, and a leash for each foster dog. As a foster dog parent, you will need to provide us with updates about your foster dog, including photos and videos.

Steps

1. Submit your application.
2. We will contact you for an interview.
3. We will do a home visit.
4. Sign Foster Care Provider Agreement.
5. We will add you to the list of foster homes.
6. When we need a foster home, we will contact you and ask if you are able to foster a dog.
