There’s Never Been a Better Time to Foster a Pet

There is an animal sheltering crisis in the United States, leaving homeless pets with nowhere to go. You can save lives by becoming an emergency foster volunteer, for the pet you take in and the space you create at the shelter for another pet.

We need emergency foster volunteers to sign up now! Click below to find a shelter near you looking for volunteers.

Shelters are reporting overpopulation not seen in as much as a decade, and many are facing staffing shortages. Meanwhile, there is an increase in pet surrenders at shelters and adoptions are slowing, leaving countless pets at risk of euthanasia. 
By fostering a pet today, you will save a pet’s life. And bring a little joy to yours.

Register Your Shelter For Good Home

If you are a shelter or rescue in need of foster volunteers, please complete the registration form below to get started. 

Good Home Shelter and Rescue Sign-Up

Good Home, a program of Greater Good Charities, connects qualified pet foster volunteers with animal shelters across the U.S. We believe no pet should wait for an adopter in an animal shelter when it could wait in a Good Home. For animal shelters that register with Good Home, our team will help find local pet foster volunteers, provide instructions on how to manage the foster list, as well as provide training and resources to ensure a successful foster program.


Please take these next steps to officially register your shelter. 


Please enter the full, official name of your shelter or rescue

Are you a 501c3 organization or a Government or Municipal Organization
