Have you ever dreamed of changing a dog’s life while enjoying all the love of a loyal companion? Our EmBark Foster Program offers you the chance to do just that by hosting a shelter dog in your home for a short-term stay that makes a long-term impact.
🏡 What is EmBark?
EmBark is a flexible, short-term foster program designed for medium to large dogs (40+ lbs and 1+ year old) who could use a break from the shelter. Whether it’s two weeks or two months, your home becomes their Home Away from Home—giving them rest, love, and a better shot at adoption.
🌟 Why Foster?
-
Science-backed benefits: Just a short stay in a home reduces stress and boosts adoptability.
-
Fully prepped pups: All EmBark dogs are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and ready to love.
-
Flexible commitment: You choose the timeline that works for you.
-
We’ve got you covered: Supplies and support are provided. You just bring the heart.
🐶 Be Their Hero
By fostering, you’re giving a pet the gift of comfort, stability, and care—and helping them shine for potential adopters. You’ll also enjoy tail wags, happy naps, and the joy of watching your furry guest thrive.
