Emergency Pandemic 2022: Dog Foster Matchmaking Form
Update! Because of this community, 50+ dogs have been matched and have been moved into foster homes or have scheduled pick ups with fosters. Thank you so much for always being there in our times of need. We still have many dogs onsite that would love to get into a home. If you would like to be matched with a dog, please fill out our non-emergent matchmaking form here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1pEMqRxrmyxzvDWz5eJx4_tNrS6QQp028iQ69ltPx1TA/viewform?edit_requested=true

You can also browse our website and submit a foster inquiry for a particular dog. We have dogs listed as at rescue partners on the website (these are dogs at shelters outside of area who are at risk of euthanasia and need a confirmed foster so we can save them), as well as dogs in foster needing new foster homes and dogs needing foster sitters.

And remember that our need for foster homes never ends as long as pets are needlessly being killed. Foster homes are ALWAYS needed and we are thankful to know that the generosity, spirit, and dedication of this community will always rise to the challenge. Thank you so much!

Past  message: Austin Pets Alive is currently experiencing an emergency situation onsite at our shelter. Due to staffing shortages we are unable to care for the number of dogs we have in our care currently. We need to move dogs into foster homes as quickly as possible! We are needing fosters to be flexible with what dog they take. If you can help foster a dog and are not already an approved foster with APA! Please fill out the foster application here: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/foster/APA/Dog
