Dogs currently in need of foster homes

Our City Dogs Foster Program works with 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 & City Kitties Rescue to pull an animal from a high-kill shelter. 

​We request a minimum of a two week foster commitment but prefer our fosters  to 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 forever homes. If you have travel plans, let us know and we can make appropriate arrangements. 

City Dogs & City Kitties 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, please visit our City Kitties foster 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 & City Kitties Rescue, visit   rehome.adoptapet.com to learn more and create their profile. ​
*If you need to return your CDCK cat or dog, please contact info@citydogsrescuedc.org.

NEW FOSTERS
Once you fill out an application, you will hear from a CDCK volunteer within two weeks. 
Questions may be directed to our Foster Team.
