Thank you for wanting to foster with us. We are currently unable to take on new fosters that live more then 30 minutes away from 60631 zipcode due to the COVID-19 health risk to our volunteers, their animals and our limited resources.

Otherwise we recommend you contact shelters that need temporary fosters and might have more resources available. You are welcome to check back with us if you are still interested once the quarantine has been lifted.
Thank you for the offer to foster.

Please fill in the form below, and click "submit." If you would prefer to download and print an application, click here. (Note: The application will open as Adobe/pdf.) Downloaded applications can be emailed to foster@chicagopetrescue.org or printed and brought to one of our adoption events.
