Some dogs who come to Noah’s Ark Society are not ready to be adopted immediately. In addition to needing extra love and care, they have to learn to trust people and to live in a human environment. Foster parents help these dogs by providing a temporary home until the dog is ready for adoption. Taking one of these unique dogs into your home for a period of a few days, weeks, or months is a lifesaving gift to the dog. Thank you for your interest in becoming a foster parent.
To be considered as a foster parent, you must:
• Be 21 years of age or older
• Have identification showing your current address
• Have the knowledge and consent of your landlord (if applicable)
• Be able and willing to spend the time necessary to provide proper care for the dog
Completion of this **application does not guarantee acceptance as a foster home/parent.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR FOSTERS OF PIT BULL, AMERICAN BULL, AND STAFFORDSHIRE BULL TERRIERS:
• Our policy is to limit the # of bull terriers in any home to a maximum of 3
• Our minimum adoption age for bull terriers is 24
• We will verify Breed Specific Legislation (BSL) restrictions in your state/city/neighborhood/HOA/or Rental Agreement
• We are not permitted to foster Bull Terriers to service men or women living on base housing due to breed specific legislation within the armed services.

We appreciate your understanding of the policies which we have put in place for the lifelong safety of the dogs in our care. We sincerely hope that society will begin to understand how wonderful Bull Terriers are, but until then we have to enforce these extra precautions for the safety of our dogs.
