Earn Rewards For Every Day You Foster
Track your impact, level up your foster status, and get recognized for the care you provide—day by day.
Fostering isn’t about perfection—it’s about showing up for a dog who needs a safe place to land.
When you foster through Dog Foster Network, your impact is recognized automatically. While you’re marked as an Active Foster, you earn Daily Foster Points each day you care for a dog.
You can redeem Foster Points for monetary gift cards. 1 Foster Point is redeemable for $1 USD. Over time, points move you up our Foster Levels.
Your foster level also helps us make better matches. Experienced fosters may be prioritized for dogs who need a confident home, while new fosters can be paired with dogs who are a great first fit. You’ll be supported with guidance, resources, and a community that has your back.
You can track your points and progress in your dashboard, and we celebrate top fosters on our community leaderboard because this work deserves real recognition.

Fostering should feel supported and doable. We help with the match, the supplies, and the people you can lean on.

Flexible Commitment
Fostering fits into real life. Whether you can help for a few weeks or a few months, we’ll match you with a dog and timeline that works for you.
Supplies are Covered
We provide food, crates, medical care, and ongoing support so you can focus on giving your foster dog a safe, loving home.
Save a Life
If just 2% of pet owners fostered, shelters could end euthanasia for space. Fostering doesn’t just help one dog — it changes the entire system.
Every dog deserves a safe place to land.
You make that possible.
Most of what we raise goes directly toward incentivizing fosters to open their homes — covering vet bills, supplies, transport, and the rewards program that keeps fosters coming back. Without donor support, dogs have nowhere to go. With it, we can say yes to every dog that needs us.
100% goes directly to dog care and foster support
