Clare’s House Foster Care is intended for people who are hospitalized for a medical issue, receiving treatment at a facility that cannot accommodate a family dog or in a medical rehabilitation facility to recover from surgery. Maximum time for temporary fostering is three months. If the owner cannot take their pet home at that time, Clare's House will re-evaluate on a case-by-case basis. Please allow up to two weeks for Clare's House to fully process and approve your application.
Before completing this application, please make sure you meet the following requirements for our Foster Care program:
Owner must have a permanent residence.
Vaccination records and photo:
All vaccinations (rabies, distemper, bordetella) must be current in order for your pet to be fostered.
Fostered dogs MUST be spayed/neutered.
Fostered dogs must be on preventative treatment for fleas/ticks.
Heartworm testing and preventative for your dog is required prior to acceptance at Clare's House for the protection of all dogs in our care.
A copy of the Veterinarian record confirming all vaccinations and required treatments (as well as a photo) must be sent via email addressed to: info@clareshousestl.org.
Dogs that are determined to be reactive/not dog friendly cannot be fostered by Clare’s House.
