Adopt From Foster FAQs

What does it mean when a pet has the "Adopt From Foster" banner on their profile?

It means that the pet is lucky enough to spend their time in a foster home until they find a family to call their very own! They can be adopted right from their foster home versus having to be here at the shelter.

Where is this pet actually located?

They are in a loving foster home! All pets who have the "Adopt From Foster" banner will need an appointment in order to meet them. Sometimes, pets are met right in their foster home and other times, they are brought back to the shelter for a meet and greet - each situation may be a little different, but you and that pet's point person will work out those details!

How do I meet them/what is the adoption process?

The first step is to fill out the form that will pop up once you click the "Ask About Meeting Me button". From there, one of our staff members will reach out to you with more information about the pet and how to meet them.

Are you interested in helping a pet stay out of the shelter while they wait for an adopter?

We love to hear that! Become a foster volunteer at lollypop.org/foster. You will receive emails letting you know who is eligible for our "Adopt From Foster" program!

Tink is a thirteen-year-old steely grey lady with a soft, thoughtful soul, searching for a calm retirement home where the days move gently and love speaks in quiet ways. A bit timid by nature, she finds comfort tucked into cozy nooks and covered beds, drifting into peaceful naps while the world hums softly around her. She listens closely when you talk or read to her in hushed tones, and her eyes linger on bird videos, a soothing bit of gentle entertainment. In a serene, patient home, Tink is a delicate presence—graceful, tender, and perfectly content to share life’s quieter moments.
