Open your home. Change a life.

A foster home is the difference between waiting and living. Yours is closer to ready than you think.

Who you would be fostering

These animals are waiting right now.

Adoptable dogs and cats near you, live from RescueGroups. Every one of them does better in a home than in a kennel.

How it works

Start fostering in three steps.

Rescues are used to first-timers, and they will walk you through it.

1

Create your free profile

Tell rescues a bit about yourself: your home, your schedule, and the animals you can welcome.

2

Connect with a local rescue

Browse rescues in your area and express interest. They'll reach out to get you started.

3

Meet your foster & their care plan

When you're matched, everything lands in your app: care instructions, contacts, the works.

If you already foster

No more digging through the group chat.

Care instructions, the vet’s number, what you’re owed for last week’s food. If your rescue runs on texts and email, all of it lives somewhere you have to go looking. Here it lives in one place on your phone.

Request supplies in one tap

Low on food or poop bags? Send a request to your rescue right from the app.

Fostering more than one? Easy.

A guided flow walks you through each animal's daily update, one at a time.

Seen, never left on read

Send a rough-day update and see the moment your rescue team acknowledges it.

The following is an interactive demo using a fictional rescue and invented animals. Maple Street Rescue is not a real organization.

This is the real app, not a picture of one. Try it the way you would on a Tuesday night, one hand, half paying attention.

Not everything in here is wired up. Tap something that isn't and it will tell you what it does.

We’re building a way to connect you with rescues nearby that have animals ready for a foster home. Make a profile and we’ll tell you the moment one joins.

Fostered before?

Already fostering? Ask your rescue to join. Then care plans, appointments, supplies, and messages all live in one place instead of your inbox or group chats.

Show your rescue what it does
The little things

Everything you need, nothing you don't.

Updates with photos & videos

Share how they're doing in a few taps. Add photos and videos, done in under a minute.

Watch them grow

Weight and progress tracking turn your daily care into charts the whole rescue celebrates.

Supplies in one tap

Running low? Send a supply request to your rescue directly from the app.

Direct messaging

Ask your rescue anything and get a real answer. No group-chat noise.

Appointments & events, with RSVP

Request vet visits, see what's coming up, and RSVP to rescue events in one tap.

Emergency help, 24/7

Something feel off? One tap to emergency contacts and resources, any time.

However you got here

Make a profile now, meet a rescue later.

You don’t need a rescue lined up to start. Make your profile and you’re first in line the moment one near you joins, and we’ll email you when that happens.
