DO YOU REGULARLY MONITOR THIS EMAIL ADDRESS AND AGREE TO PROVIDE US WITH TIMELY REPONSES TO OUR EMAILS? You may need to monitor your email's spam folder for emails from our organization.

If you rent or are a roommate or child of the home owner, please provide the landlord´s or owner's name and phone number. You must have approval to have a dog from your landlord, rental agency or home owner. We also need to know if there are any restrictions, such as size or breed of dog, etc. Please provide the below information so that we may contact them.

Please provide contact information for 2 personal references (someone that knows you and can provide insight on your character, how you feel about pets, how you treat pets, etc). These references cannot live in your home with you.

Please contact your references and let them know that someone from our organization will be contacting them and ask them to return our calls if we leave a message.

HAVE YOU EVER GIVEN AWAY, SOLD, ABANDONED, SURRENDERED OR PUT A PET TO SLEEP?

HAS A PET EVER DISAPPEARED, BEEN KILLED OR INJURED, OR MISTREATED WHILE IN YOUR CARE?

NOTE: Small disagreements are expected and typical behavior when a new dog is brought into a home where a dog or cat is already living. There can be fear and anxiety and you must be willing to work with your new dog during the transition time (which can be anywhere from days, to weeks, to months) until the dog is comfortable in your home. At that time you'll be able to see your dog's true personality.

(Dogs can find their new homes in as little as a few weeks to several months and more. We need foster homes for the long haul and even emergency foster homes for a week or two while we set up transport of a dog to another rescue)

Please allow us a few days to reply to your application.  Thank you for your interest in fostering a dog in need for Tennessee Death Row Dogs!
