Snooty Giggles Dog Foster Application


Thank you for your interest in fostering for Snooty Giggles. To foster for Snooty Giggles Dog Rescue you MUST live in the Middle Tennessee area and be able to access our vet clinic, Animalia Health and Wellness, in Franklin, TN. (If this is not convenient for you please consider researching rescues in your area, as every rescue group needs fosters)

 

Please read and answer all questions honestly and completely. Foster dogs animals come to Snooty Giggles from a variety of situations. Many have emotional damage that they need to recover from. Still more have experienced physical neglect. Fostering requires an ability to work with animals who aren’t “perfect”. Our goal is to heal the wounds, and provide a place of safe respite and recovery so the animals that come to us can become complete and whole again. As a foster parent, you will be critical to this mission, but must be able to understand animal behavior and know that every time you receive a foster dog you can expect some behaviors that could be considered undesirable. Snooty Giggles fosters do have a support team of trainers, liaisons and guides to help navigate these waters. If you are ready for this calling, please continue on and complete this foster application. 

To be considered as a foster parent, you must:

  • Be 25 years of age or older
  • Stellar Vet history with all pets
  • Pets must be UTP on all vaccines at the time of applying 
  • Pets must be using HWP (Heartworm preventative) year round
  • Pets must be spayed or neutered at the time of applying  
  • Have the consent of your landlord (if applicable)
  • Be able and willing to spend the time necessary to provide proper care for the animal you wish to foster.
  • Agree to the terms and conditions of fostering.

Keep in mind…..Completion of this application does not guarantee acceptance as a foster home/parent.
