Fostering with HUNAH

About Fostering

 

HUNAH is a foster-based rescue, which means the number of dogs we can help is limited by the number of foster homes we have available. Currently, we have a network of foster homes throughout Oregon and Washington (and a few in Idaho) where the dogs are placed temporarily until we can find a new loving and appropriate permanent home for them.

​

We could not find loving homes for these rescues without the help of each and every person who fosters them.  We want to THANK YOU for taking on this very much needed task!!

 

We rely on our foster homes to help us place as many dogs as possible each year. Because we have no permanent shelter facility, our foster program is key to our organization’s success. Becoming a foster parent is an exceptionally rewarding and fun way to volunteer.

​

If you are interested in helping to change a life, HUNAH will make sure you have all the tools you need to successfully foster one of our dogs.​ All of our foster homes are pre-screened to ensure we find a good fit for you and our dogs as well. It is extremely important that each dog be matched with the right home/people.  Therefore, we need to know some background information about you and your living situation in order to make the best fit!

​

Once a foster dog is placed with you in your home, some amount of time will be necessary for you to gain an understanding of the dog's personality, activity level, and other characteristics.  This will help us write up a bio on the dog when we post him/her for adoption.  You will also need to take photos of the dog so that they can be posted.  An adoption coordinator will be assigned to your dog.  This is the person you will be communicating with.  The coordinator will be responsible for posting your dog, screening applicants, and connecting the approved applicant to you so that a "meet and greet" can be scheduled.

Apply to foster one of our HUNAH dogs

​

Please complete and submit the Foster Application Form.  This is an online form and once submitted will be sent directly to HUNAH.

 

Please be sure to contact all of your references and let them know that we will be calling and asking questions about your ability to care for the dog in question. To help speed up this process, ensure that they are expecting our call and that their phone number is correct on the application form.​​​​​​​​​

​​​​​​​​If you do not hear back from us within 3-5 working days (M-F), please contact us at the above noted email to make sure that we received your application.  Please keep in mind that we are all volunteers and do our best to act quickly.  Please feel free to reach out if you are concerned.

​

If you are ONLY interested in ADOPTION, please do NOT use this form.  Otherwise, we will assume that you are willing to bring rescue dogs into your home for a period of time while we find them forever homes through the adoption process.  You can find the adoption information and online form here.​​​​​​
