Borrowing a shelter dog gives a pup a chance to get a break from the shelter! You can bring a shelter dog on a fun outing on a hike, to an adoption event, to enjoy a pup cup, or to spend some time snuggling on your couch. Spend a little longer with them for a weekend getaway or slumber party! Borrow-a-Buddy also gives us the opportunity to learn more information about the pet that can be communicated to their future home. Average foster time is: a few hours, a day, or a weekend! Click the button below to fill out our Foster Application! Please remember requests may take up to 24-48 hours. Thank you and we hope to see you soon!
All applicants must be 18+ and reside within 50 miles of the SPCA of Texas’ Dallas Animal Care Center. Once you complete the form, be sure to click the submit button at the bottom.
