Adopt From Foster FAQs

What does it mean when a pet has the "Adopt From Foster" banner on their profile?

It means that the pet is lucky enough to spend their time in a foster home until they find a family to call their very own! They can be adopted right from their foster home versus having to be here at the shelter.

Where is this pet actually located?

They are in a loving foster home! All pets who have the "Adopt From Foster" banner will need an appointment in order to meet them. Sometimes, pets are met right in their foster home and other times, they are brought back to the shelter for a meet and greet - each situation may be a little different, but you and that pet's point person will work out those details!

How do I meet them/what is the adoption process?

The first step is to fill out the form that will pop up once you click the "Ask About Meeting Me button". From there, one of our staff members will reach out to you with more information about the pet and how to meet them.

Are you interested in helping a pet stay out of the shelter while they wait for an adopter?

We love to hear that! Become a foster volunteer at lollypop.org/foster. You will receive emails letting you know who is eligible for our "Adopt From Foster" program!

Meet Lieutenant Doggo! This handsome man is about 6 years old and weighs 80lbs. He's a friendly guy who loves every person he meets! His favorite place in the world is the couch, especially when he has someone to cuddle with. As an experienced older gentleman, Lt. Doggo already knows the drill - he is house-trained and knows "sit" and "paw", though he hasn't quite learned how to salute yet. We're unsure if he is crate-trained, but in his foster home he has been well-behaved home alone without a crate. We don't know whether Lt. Doggo has lived with children or other animals before, so we will help with careful introductions to the whole family to be sure everyone is comfortable. With his easygoing personality, we think he could fit nicely into most families. If you've been looking for a big hunk of love, Lt. Doggo could be the one! He is currently living life in a foster home, but is eager to find his next family with you! Please email Lt. Doggo's friend, Nicole, at nratliff@lollypop.org to set up a time to meet him.
