Agency: BARK

Description:

BARK’s mission is to rescue orphaned or abandoned pets and other adoptable dogs from animal shelters in the Richmond area, provide spay/neuter and vaccinations, then find loving, forever homes for them.

Foster Parents are integral to the success of orphaned dogs transitioning into new, forever homes. Foster volunteers will report to the Foster Program Leader and will be given a foster manual that details the process and policies for fostering a BARK dog.

Volunteers who become foster parents are asked to complete an application due to the fact that BARK dogs will leave BARK premises and be 100% in the care of the foster parent. To apply, go to: http://www.barkva.org/html/form_foster.htm. Once the foster application is approved, the Foster Program Team will determine the best foster dog for you and your environment.
