MaeDay Rescue saves a variety of animals, most of whom come from terrible situations. MaeDay's goal is to make sure that these animals are placed in their perfect home where they will live the rest of their lives. The only way we can save these animals is by the help of foster homes. We supply everything you need to take care of your foster pup, while they are waiting to find their forever home.

Why Foster?

  • MaeDay does not have a rescue facility. We depend on fosters to take care of the animals until we find them a nice, suitable home.
  • Shelters constantly run out of space for adoptable dogs. By fostering, you are helping free a spot so the shelter can take in another dog.
  • Some animals we get need medical attention -- either from surgery, illness or injury. By fostering, you are providing these animals a safe place to recover and recuperate.
  • Some animals have never lived in a home or have never had any contacts with people or other animals. By fostering, you are helping socialize the animal so they get used to being around other pets and all types of people.
  • Finally, fostering is one of the most rewarding experiences you can have. You do not only help an animal in need but as soon as the animal is adopted, you also make their future family happy!

What does fostering entail?

  • YOU are willing to open your home to an animal in need and shower them with TLC. 
  • YOU are 100% committed. Some dogs can get adopted in a few weeks or in some cases it could stretch out to a couple of months. There is no guarantee when an animal is adopted but until then it needs a home.
  • YOU don't mind being your foster's UBER driver. MaeDay holds regular adoption events. We need you to take your foster to these events. You might also need to drive your foster to their vet appointments or to meet and greets!
  • YOU can handle stressful situations. We don't always get the perfect animals. Some animals come with ticks or fleas. Some are sick. Some have anxiety and some are not potty trained. We will help and support you in any way we can but we need you to keep it together and not quit!
  • YOU have an observant eye. You will watch your foster and get to know his or her personality. You will provide MaeDay with all the information that will allow us to make the perfect match between pet and human.
  • YOU love taking pictures and videos! Most of our adoption inquiries are from our social media accounts. Social media is how we "market" our foster animals. We love getting tagged in photos and stories. The more photos/videos we post of your foster, the better chance it could get adopted.
If you are all of the above and more, please fill out an application so we can learn more about you.
