Foster
Thank you for your interest in becoming a Foster Care Provider! When you become a Foster Care Provider, you are allowing Priceless Pets to rescue more puppies, dogs, kittens, and cats than our facility can physically hold. By becoming a Foster Care Provider, you are providing a life-saving service, therefore making a difference in our community.

Being a Foster Care Provider is both a challenging and rewarding service. We will provide you with the necessary information and support needed to take on this mission and be on the front lines of animal saving.

The following are the basic policies and procedures you will be required to follow:

  • Fosters are responsible for the general care of the dog(s), puppy(ies), cat(s) or kitten(s) in their home. This includes, but is not limited to, food, water, medications (when needed), grooming, exercise, play time, and a safe environment.
  • Fosters agree to keep their personal pets’ vaccinations current. Fosters may be asked to provide vaccination records to the Foster Manager.
  • Fosters need to contact the Foster Manager if dog(s), pupp(ies), cat(s), or kitten(s) become ill or injured. AUTHORIZATION FOR VET CARE NEEDS TO BE DONE BY THE FOSTER COORDINATOR PRIOR TO ANY APPOINTMENT OR PROCEDURE. Payment for vet care that is done without authorization will be the responsibility of the foster.
  • Fosters can participate in the adoption process by bringing the dog(s), puppy(ies), cat(s), or kittens(s) to our adoption events. Priceless Pets holds adoption events every Saturday and Sunday at one of our three adoption centers in Chino Hills, Claremont or Costa Mesa.
  • Fosters should notify the Foster Coordinator as soon as possible if they are not available to attend an adoption event due to illness of the dog(s), puppy(ies), cat(s) or kitten(s), or personal reasons beyond their control. If another family member can provide transportation to and from the adoption event, this would be preferable to not attending at all. If the Foster Manager does not hear from the foster, it is expected that the dog(s), puppy(ies), cat(s), or kitten(s) will be at the adoption event.
  • Fosters MAY NOT transfer any dog(s), puppy(ies), cat(s), or kitten(s) to any other person unless authorized PRIOR to the transfer.
  • Fosters MAY NOT  promise any dog(s), puppy(ies), cat(s), or kitten(s) in the program to any potential adopter. It is required that an interested person(s) meet the dog(s), puppy(ies), cat(s), kitten(s) at the adoption event where an application will be taken, as well as a brief interview. The adoption application will be reviewed by the Adoption Manager and, if approved, the adoption process will proceed.
  • Only a Priceless Pets Intake Manager or Director may authorize the intake of dog(s), puppy(ies), cat(s), or kitten(s) from the public or shelter.
  • Priceless Pets will provide veterinary care for dog(s), puppy(s), cat(s), or kitten(s) being fostered at the Priceless Pets Vet Clinic located in Chino Hills, CA. Foster must be willing to drive to Chino Hills for veterinary care for their foster animals.
  • If circumstances develop whereby the foster is unable to give the best care possible for the dog(s), puppy(ies), cat(s), or kitten(s), the foster may surrender the dog(s), puppy(ies), cat(s), or kitten(s) back to Priceless Pets. However, the foster must allow the time and flexibility for Priceless Pets to find another foster home!
We are so excited for your interest in joining our life saving team! Our Foster Onboarding Manager will be in contact with you in 7-10 days to discuss our foster program further.
