A sample foster care application form for shelters to use to establish temporary foster homes for animals.

ALDF provides the legal resources necessary for rescuers and shelters dealing with the overwhelming numbers of sick and abandoned animals struggling for survival during disasters. We also support critical legislation to ensure that animals are never again left to fend for themselves in the case of natural disaster.

Shelters without the resources to house large numbers of animals can adapt and use ALDF's Foster Care Application and Foster Care Agreement forms as part of a foster care program to establish temporary foster homes for the animals.

This Frequently Asked Questions section was designed to help address the legal questions generated by animal rescuers and others assisting with the recovery of animals affected by disasters.
