Adopting & Fostering

Help us save dogs from overcrowded shelters. Adopt or foster a dog today!

If you're considering fostering a dog through our program, we invite you to complete our application form. As a part of our foster program, we proudly cover the cost of genetic health testing, empowering you to provide the best possible care.

Foster caregivers play a vital role in the rehabilitation and rehoming process. By offering love, attention, and daily care, along with attending training classes and providing feedback on the dog's progress and unique personality, you become an integral part of their journey. Your dedication and insights are invaluable in ensuring each foster dog finds their perfect forever home.

Regardless of whether you reside in an apartment or a house, if your living situation allows for fostering, we warmly welcome your involvement in our mission to enrich the lives of dogs in need. Together, let's embark on a journey to create a brighter future for our four-legged friends

At Better Living Paws our commitment to canine welfare extends beyond mere adoption. We're dedicated to facilitating loving homes for dogs through our adoption and fostering programs, ensuring every furry friend finds their perfect match.

For prospective pet parents residing in rental properties, we're thrilled to alleviate the burden by covering the entire deposit fee, making the transition seamless and stress-free. Homeowners looking to open their hearts to a new furry companion can count on our support, with up to 50% of the adoption fee covered.

But our commitment doesn't end there. We understand the importance of ensuring the well-being of every dog in our care. That's why all shelter adoptions include complimentary genetic health testing. This invaluable service empowers adoptive families with essential insights into their new family member's potential health risks, fostering peace of mind and informed decision-making.

Moreover, we prioritize the ongoing development and happiness of our dogs through comprehensive training initiatives. As part of our adoption process, all dogs undergo enrollment in dog training classes. These classes, meticulously designed to address basic commands, behavior correction, and individual needs, equip each dog with the skills to thrive in their new environment. This dedication significantly reduces the likelihood of dogs being returned to shelters, fostering lasting bonds between pets and their families.
