Pyr Paws N Fluffy Tails Rescue: Foster Application

Welcome to the Fluff Life!

First off—THANK YOU! By applying to foster, you’re officially on your way to becoming a hero (cape optional but encouraged). Fostering is one of the most rewarding things you can do—it literally saves lives. Without fosters, these dogs wouldn’t get their second chance, and we’re pretty sure “breaking a dog out of death row” earns you some serious karma points.

Now, let’s talk about what fostering with Pyr Paws N Fluffy Tails Rescue looks like:

✅ Be a patient teacher – Most foster dogs are still figuring out this whole “house manners” thing. Expect some confusion, a little chaos, and probably an accidental zoomie into your furniture.

✅ Shower them with love – Your foster pup might be nervous at first, but with some belly rubs and treats, they’ll soon be glued to your side like dog hair on black leggings.

✅ Keep us in the loop – Updates and photos are a must! Not only do we love seeing happy floofs, but it helps them find their forever home faster.

✅ Help with transport – Be prepared to meet halfway when picking up your foster dog and take them to vet appointments when needed. (We promise we won’t send you on a cross-country road trip.)

✅ Current pets must be up to date on vaccines – Because the only thing we want spreading in your home is happiness, not germs!

? IMPORTANT: Fosters must be located in Oklahoma. If you're reading this from another state, we love your enthusiasm, but we can't teleport dogs (yet).

PPFT covers all medical expenses, and we can provide food and a crate if needed—you just provide the love, patience, and a soft spot for a dog who needs a second chance.

Still in? Awesome! We can’t wait to welcome you to the foster fam. ?❤️

How old are you? *
Who else will be sharing the doggie duties?

Please provide the name, email and number of your significant other or any secondary human that will be sharing custody of your new fluffy butt foster. *

Let’s Talk About Your Home Sweet Home
We need to know where our fluffy butt will be living their best life—whether you own, rent, or have a pet-friendly castle with a fence that’s taller than your neighbor’s love for gossip.

Landlord Information (Renter's Only.)

*Please alert your landlord that we will be reaching out. If you do NOT provide landlord contact information, your application will not be considered.*

Does your landlord allow pets?
Please list your landlord's Name: Phone: Email:
Please list your landlord's pet policy such as pet deposit, breed restrictions, etc to show that you are familiar with their policy

Do you have a fenced-in yard? *
Is your fence directly connected to your house? *
Meaning you can simply open the door and release the beast—I mean, lovingly let your dog outside without needing to leash up and trek across the yard? Or will potty breaks involve you standing in the rain at 2 AM, questioning your life choices?
What type of fencing do you have? *
When we ask about your fence, we’re talking about anything from a solid privacy fence made of wood, vinyl, or composite to a classic chain link setup. Maybe you’ve got a split rail fence for that rustic charm, or perhaps you’ve gone the more elegant route with a wrought iron beauty. Some folks swear by an invisible underground fence. And let’s not forget the adventurous types who make do with poultry netting, bamboo, or even stone walls. If you're using something a little more unconventional—like cattle panels or temporary fencing while you work on the real deal—let us know!

Your Future Foster Pup
We’re so excited you’re interested in fostering! Before we hand over the leash to your future four-legged houseguest, we need a little info about your home, pets, and lifestyle. Think of this as our version of a dating profile—except instead of awkward first dates, you get unconditional love and possibly a little drool.
Tell us a bit about yourself and your household! *
Are you a homebody who loves couch cuddles, an adventurer looking for a trail buddy, or somewhere in between? Do you have a full house of kids, roommates, or just a collection of plants that may or may not survive?
Do you have any breed/size/age preferences? Or is there a specific dog you are applying to foster? *
Are you planning for your foster dog to spend most of their time inside with you, or will they be hanging out in the yard a lot? *
We ask because it's important for us to understand your lifestyle and ensure it’s a good match for the dog’s needs.
Are you comfortable handling a dog that might be nervous or shy at first? *
Some dogs adjust instantly, while others need time to realize they’ve hit the jackpot with you.
Are you comfortable working with basic training, such as leash walking, potty training and polite manners? *
Some dogs come pre-installed with good manners, while others are like adorable, fluffy chaos gremlins who think “sit” is optional and the leash is a tug-of-war toy. Fostering often means helping a dog learn the ropes—like where to potty (hint: not your favorite rug), how to walk without dragging you across the neighborhood, and that jumping on guests might not be the best way to say hello.
Home Life
How many hours a day do you expect your dog to be alone for?

(And don’t worry, we know people have jobs—just let us know what the pup’s daily schedule might look like!) *
Where will your foster dog stay while you’re away at work, on an errand, etc?

We want to know how your foster dog will spend their time while you’re out and about! Please choose the option that best fits your situation: *
-Free-Range Pup: My dog has free roam of the house while I’m gone, enjoying the sights, sounds, and smells of their domain.

-The Doggie Den: I’ve got a cozy crate or a secure playpen where my dog will hang out safely until I get home.

-Doggy Daycare or a Dog Walker: When I’m out, my dog’s at daycare with other pups, or they get a daily check-in from a dog walker who provides company, exercise, and attention.

-Supervised Outdoor Access: If I’m out for a while, my dog may have access to a securely fenced yard where they can enjoy the fresh air, sniff around, or relax in the sun until I’m back.

-Dog-Friendly Neighbor or Friend: I have a nearby friend or neighbor who helps out by keeping my dog company while I’m away, so they always have a friendly face to spend time with.

-Work-from-Home Vibes: I work from home or have flexible hours, so my dog is always underfoot, getting all the attention and love they need while I handle my day.
Where will the dog sleep at night? *
The Bed Buddy – My dog will be snuggled up in bed with me, ready for cuddles all night long. I’m all about that cozy, close-to-me connection.

The Cozy Crate Dweller – My dog will sleep in a crate in my room, where they can feel secure and comfy but also have their own space. I’m a fan of the crate life for a peaceful sleep.

The Bedroom Snoozer – My dog will sleep in my bedroom, but not on the bed. They’ll have their own bed or blanket in the room, close by but with their own space.

The Living Room Lounger – My dog will sleep in the living room or another area of the house, where they can spread out and enjoy their own space at night.

The Outside Explorer – My dog will sleep outside in a secured area or dog house, enjoying the fresh air while staying safe and comfortable.

The Freedom Seeker – I’m open to letting my dog sleep wherever they feel comfortable, whether that’s the bed, the couch, or their own special spot.
Tell Us About Your Other Pets
Why are we asking about your other pets?
Because we want to make sure everyone gets along in the family! We know some pets are social butterflies, while others prefer to keep to themselves. By learning about your other pets, we can ensure a smooth transition for your new foster dog, so nobody feels like they’re being crowded out of their territory.
Please list any other DOGS currently in the home using the same format below:

Do you have any cats in the home?

If so, do they have a designated space for their food, litter box, and a quiet area where they can retreat for some peace away from the dog? *
(Because, let’s face it, dogs often think the litter box is a treasure chest, see the cat’s food as an all-you-can-eat buffet, or have no clue that the cat might not be ready to sign a friendship contract just yet!)

Veterinary Care

We ask for your vet’s information on the foster application because it helps us ensure that the pets in your home are receiving appropriate care—and that you're prepared to help a rescue dog get the same. A big part of fostering is being ready for whatever condition a dog might arrive in, and unfortunately, many of the dogs we take in come from neglectful situations or shelters where exposure to illness is common.

We completely understand that some families prefer a more holistic approach or only take their pets to the vet when absolutely necessary. That doesn’t make you a bad pet owner. However, because our dogs often come from environments where they may have been exposed to things like intestinal parasites, kennel cough, or even more serious illnesses, we have to be extra cautious.

For the health and safety of everyone in the home, we require that all dogs currently in your care be up to date on core vaccinations, parasite preventatives (like heartworm and flea/tick), and regular veterinary care. Not only is this critical for the incoming foster dog—it’s also essential protection for your own pets. We wish it weren’t the case, but even the sweetest, fluffiest shelter dogs can sometimes bring along unwelcome microscopic guests.

If your pets aren’t quite there yet, that’s okay—as long as you're willing to get them updated and continue their care, we’re happy to move forward. But if that's not something you're comfortable with, we unfortunately won’t be able to place one of our dogs in your home.

Thanks for understanding—we know it sounds a little strict, but it’s all about keeping every tail in the house wagging safely.
Are your dogs current on their Rabies Bordetella, and DHLPP vaccinations, which are required to foster with us unless deemed unnecessary by your vet due to age or medical issues? *
Yes.
No.
Written Response:
(Please note, we will confirm vaccination status directly with your vet, so please ensure that your vet has this information on file.)
Is your dog on heartworm prevention? *
No
Yes, name of brand?
Heartworm prevention is vital to protect your dog from potentially life-threatening heartworm disease, which is transmitted by mosquitoes. This simple monthly medication helps prevent heartworms, which can cause severe damage to the heart and lungs. It’s a small step that makes a big difference in your dog’s health, and we’ll check with your vet to verify that they’re up to date.
What is the name of the veterinary clinic you use?

If you don’t currently have a vet, please enter "None" in the name field and "000-000-0000" for the phone number. *
***Please alert your vet that we will be calling to confirm your pets are up to date on their shots and heart-worm prevention.***

You Survived the Application!

Wow, you really hung in there—respect. We know our foster application is basically the rescue version of a full-blown interrogation, but hey, when you’re trusting someone with one of our floofy misfits, we don’t mess around.

Thank you so much for taking the time to tell us all about yourself and for considering opening your home to a dog in need. Fosters are the heart and soul of our rescue (seriously, we’d be lost without you), and the fact that you're even thinking about stepping up means the world—not just to us, but to the pup waiting for a soft place to land.

Our team will review everything and get back to you as soon as we can. We take matchmaking seriously—because nothing’s worse than sending a 90-pound cuddle monster to a home that wasn’t expecting the drool.

Talk soon, and thank you again for being the kind of human dogs dream about.
