Dogs currently in need of foster homes

City Dogs Rescue needs foster homes in the Washington, DC metro area, including parts of Maryland and Northern Virginia. By fostering a dog or cat, you are enabling City Dogs Rescue to pull an animal from a high-kill shelter. We request you to commit a minimum of two weeks but prefer if you can have the pet up to the point of adoption. Many of our dogs and cats are adopted within a couple of months; however, we cannot guarantee this timeline. Sometimes they are adopted more quickly and sometimes they take longer to find their forever homes. If you have travel plans, let us know and we can make appropriate arrangements. City Dogs Rescue pays for all pre-approved vetting and provides you with a crate, "Adopt Me" vest, collar, leash, harness and other supplies, if needed, when you foster a dog. You provide a home, loving care and food.  To learn more about our cat foster program and cats in need of a foster, please visit our City Kitties page.

All of the dogs listed on this page need foster homes.  They are eligible for adoption at any time. 
If you are looking for a resource to rehome your pet and you did not adopt them from City Dogs Rescue & City Kitties, visit   rehome.adoptapet.com to learn more and create their profile. ​
*If you need to return your CDR&CK cat or dog, please contact info@citydogsrescuedc.org.
