# Dog Foster Application Template

> A free dog and cat foster application for shelters and rescues. Volunteers share their home, pets and availability, and lead mode shows who to approve first.

Applicants share their home, other pets, experience and which animals they can foster and for how long. Lead mode marks ready homes as hot leads, so your foster coordinator calls them first.
