Foster Program

---

Once you find a horse you would like to foster, contact PDAS using the “Contact About Fostering” button and form below.  In the event you find a horse that’s not available for fostering, the “Contact About Fostering” button won’t be visible. Please don’t let that discourage you from finding another horse who is available for fostering, or supporting in other ways – the horses need your support! 

The process to become a foster includes these three steps:

• An initial inquiry form
• A conversation with our management team
• A visit to your farm/ranch/facility

During the introductory process, you will likely be expected to provide information about your property or boarding situation and equine care providers. Have that information ready to share.

As you embark on your exciting journey for fostering, it’s important to keep a few key things in mind:

• Costs: We will discuss out what you will be expected to provide for your fostered horse up front and budget appropriately.
• Matching you to a foster horse: We work to carefully match you with a foster horse who’s a safe and appropriate fit for your facility and ability level. For example, horses needing extensive rehabilitation or training will be better suited with an experienced handler. Keep an open mind about what types of equines you can open your home to.
• Finding an adopter for your foster equine: We encourage the foster homes to help find adopters for their horse. Ask how you can be part of the exciting process of connecting your foster horse with a loving home!
• Enjoy the process! Many successful fostering matches have led to happy adoptions, plus bonding, learning and fun!
