FAQs

Fostering involves giving a homeless animal a temporary, safe place in your home. Most
fosters stay for 4-6 weeks, though some may need longer, especially if they require extensive
medical care such as surgeries or heartworm treatment.

Provides a Loving Environment: Fostering gives pets a taste of home life, with the love,
attention, and socialization they might not get in a shelter.

Saves Lives: By opening your home to a foster pet, you free up space in shelters and rescues,
allowing us to help more animals in need.

Prepares Pets for Adoption: Fostering helps pets transition from shelter life to a forever home,
teaching them basic manners and helping them overcome behavioral challenges.

Provides Valuable Feedback: As a foster, you offer insights into the pet’s personality and
needs, aiding us in finding the perfect forever home for them.

Three Little Pitties Rescue covers medical expenses for foster animals at our veterinary
partners or Friendswood office. We also provide necessary items such as kennels, food, and
collars. For those fostering in the Pacific Northwest, medical expenses are covered there too.
Reach out to our PNW foster team for additional assistance with supplies.

Complete the Application

Fill out the foster
application form. We’ll ask about
your pet experience, living

Attend an Orientation

Once your application

and expectations.

Match with a Foster Pet

Based on your
preferences and
availability, we’ll match
you with a pet that fits your
lifestyle. We provide all
necessary supplies and
support.

Provide Love and Care

As a foster parent, your
role is to offer love, care,
and basic training, helping
your foster pet feel safe
and cherished until they
find their forever home.

Success Stories

Mabel- Behavior

When Mabel, a young black mouth cur mix arrived she was severely underweight and emotionally shut down. She showed signs of major anxiety, avoiding handlers and remaining tense even around other dogs. Experienced foster Tom took her in, pairing her with a calm, safe dog and giving her the time and guidance she needed to feel secure and learn to play. Over a year of patience and love, Mabel transformed—and has now found her forever home!

Popcorn- Feral

Popcorn, an orange tabby from South Houston, grew up feral in a shelter until Marcela, our PNW foster liaison, took her in. Now, at just over a year old, Popcorn has transformed into a friendly, confident "queen of the house" who adores chin scratches, cozy snuggles, and sunbathing by big windows. After starting off shy, Popcorn has become a total cuddle bug and is now ready for a forever home where she can be the center of attention—just as she likes it!

Merida- Medical

Merida, a tiny kitten with broken legs, had a rough start as no shelters were able to take her in. But with the care of a dedicated foster, she received the treatment and love she needed to heal and thrive. Now, Merida is fully recovered and happily adopted into a loving forever home!

Estrella- Behavior

Estrella Emily was rescued from a cruelty case while pregnant and terrified of everything—especially men. Initially aggressive towards men, she barked at my husband daily when he came home. However, she quickly bonded with our playful dog, Coco, and began to trust more through their interactions.

After nearly three months of patience and care from both Emily and Cindy, Estrella transformed into a happy dog who loved doing zoomies and even became comfortable at my group workout classes. Her journey was incredibly rewarding, and I’m thrilled to share that she has now found her perfect forever family. I continue to stay in touch with them, and Estrella is exactly where she belongs!

Oreo- Behavior

Oreo’s journey was a challenging one; he had been returned by three different owners and spent 123 days in boarding, where he struggled with reactivity on the leash and anxiety in his kennel. Jessica decided to take him home for a 120-day foster period, hoping to help him find his way.

When Oreo first arrived, he was visibly nervous, shaking and growling at Jessica’s kids. However, after just three days, he began to settle in and adapt to his new environment. With Jessica’s patience and dedication, Oreo flourished over the next four months, gaining confidence and learning to trust again.

Ultimately, Oreo’s transformation was a heartwarming success, and he finally found his forever home. His story is a beautiful reminder of the impact fostering can have on a dog’s life!

Noel- Medical

Last Christmas Eve, Noel was rescued from a gas station, where she was neglected and on the brink of death. She was one of the worst cases of emaciation we had ever seen, severely malnourished and fighting for her life. With love, care, and the support of a dedicated foster home, Noel made an incredible recovery! ❤️ Jodi, our director of community outreach, fostered her until she was ready for adoption. Now, Noel is thriving and living her best life with her new forever family, showcasing the transformative power of compassion and dedication in rescue!
