Foster Orientation

Thank you for your interest in joining the AWLA’s foster team! To complete your orientation, please review the materials below. The quiz confirms your understanding of materials covered in the video, handbook and agreement. Once you complete the quiz, you will be ready to start fostering animals. If you have questions at any time, you can contact our foster team at foster@alexandriaanimals.org.

Orientation Steps

1. Orientation Video
2. Foster Handbook and Agreement*
3. Orientation Understanding Quiz

*You do not need to sign this agreement. Each time you foster a new animal, a new printed agreement will be provided for you to sign.

After completing the orientation understanding quiz, you will be added to our list of available fosters. Please note, we might not immediately have animals needing foster care who meet your criteria, but we will contact you once animals are in need of a foster home. 

Additional resources:

1. Slides from Orientation Video
2. Helpful Dog Handouts
3. Helpful Cat Handouts
4. Helpful Rabbit Handouts

These handouts are the same that we provide to adopters but are still very helpful for our foster caregivers as well.
