We try to make the process as easy as possible. The steps to become a Foster Careigiver with The Rescue Crew are:
Watch our Foster Orientation Video below (14 minutes).
Complete a Foster Questionnaire (5 minutes).
Receive an email within 2-3 business days with next steps and instructions.
The whole process takes less than 20 minutes. Please watch your email for follow-up information and instructions as our emails seem to go into recipient's spam folders at times. Our online orientation allows you to be introduced to fostering more quickly, which means you can start helping save animals sooner.
To provide additional support and information, we host bi-weekly Foster & Volunteer Information Sessions. These sessions will provide more in depth information about fostering, volunteer opportunities, the types of support we provide to our fosters, introduce you to your support team and allow you to get any and all questions about The Rescue Crew and fostering with us answered.
Information Sessions are held the 2nd Tuesday of every month from 6:30pm - 7:30pm, and the 3rd Sunday of each month from 10:30am - 11:30am.
Please be sure to registered at least 24 hours in advance.
Each presentation and Q&A is hosted on Zoom. This allows you to interact with our presenter. Imagine it being like you are in the room in person but digitally.
To ensure the most positive experience, we recommend:
Turn on your webcam so we can see you too. If you prefer not to, that's ok as well.
Zoom is a free app we will be using during the session to interact and learn. Ensure you have downloaded the zoom app onto your computer or phone for the best user experience.
Alternatively, you can simply use one of the call-in numbers provided on your registration invite.
