Foster
Become a Stray to Play foster and help change lives one tail at a time. Whether it's for a few days or a few months, YOU can be the reason a dog gets a second chance.
How fostering works
Tell us about your home and what you're hoping to foster. The application takes just a few minutes.
We'll match you with a dog that fits your space, schedule, and experience — for a few days or a few months.
Stray to Play covers food, supplies, and medical care. You bring the couch space and the love.
Help your foster learn to trust and thrive, then celebrate when they find their forever family.
Our fosters
Behind every rescue success story is a foster — someone who opened their heart and home to a dog in need.
Foster
“I foster dogs because I love being part of their second chance. Seeing a dog relax, feel safe, and learn how to be loved again makes every moment worth it. Helping them heal and then watching them move on to a forever home is something that brings me a lot of purpose and joy.”
Foster
“I foster animals because giving them a safe, loving home during their most vulnerable moments — watching them heal, grow, and eventually join their forever families — brings warmth and light into our home, allowing us to spread our love to as many fur-friends as possible.”
Foster
“I love fostering because I get to help a scared dog feel safe, and at the same time I learn so much from watching them slowly open up. Their progress teaches me just as much as I teach them.”
