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 click the "Ask About Meeting Me" button, which will take you directly to this pet's adoption page on Shelterluv. 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?

Snickers is a sweet, gentle girl who loves naps, going for walks, sitting outside, riding in the car, and simply being around her people. Once she settles into a walk, she is very easy to handle on leash and is happy to go any distance. She is also friendly with other dogs and rarely barks. Snickers has a playful side, too. She loves rolling around on her blanket and army-crawling across the floor. She isn’t particularly interested in toys, but the upside is that she isn’t destructive. The only time she really plays with a toy is when she gets the zoomies after we come home. She also loves sitting nearby and cuddling with her favorite person on the couch. Snickers is still a little nervous around new people, but she warms up when they are calm and give her space rather than leaning over her. She has met several children during her time in foster, and did well with them when they were gentle and understood that she needed to take things slowly during the initial interaction. Talk about a superstar! In the words of her foster, "Once she gets to know you, she absolutely enjoys plenty of pets and belly rubs." More information, straight from her foster family: "Snickers has been very good about going potty outside when we take her out and give her the cue to go. She is potty trained, although she may have an accident or two while initially settling into a new home. She doesn’t seem to know any basic verbal commands, but she is still a very well-mannered dog. She doesn’t beg for food or jump up on people, and she is crate-trained at night. We are also comfortable leaving Snickers loose in the house, outside of her crate, when we need to leave for a couple of hours during the day." Overall, Snickers is a gentle, affectionate, easygoing girl who enjoys the simple things in life: walks, car rides, lounging outside, cuddling, and being close to her people. She may need a little time and patience to feel comfortable with new people, but once she trusts you, she has plenty of love to give.
