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!

Say hello to Tucker! Although we don't have any official DNA info, he appears to be some sort of shepherd with the floppiest of ears! We don't have much history on Tucker's life before he came to Lollypop Farm. However, this lucky pup is staying in one of our amazing foster homes so we are starting to learn a lot about him! Here are some fun observations: -he does well with the other dogs in his foster home -seems to be housebroken, and does let you know when he needs to go out -walks great on leash -fascinated by squirrels, but is polite about it -loves to be near his foster mom and sleep with her So if you are looking for a well-mannered young gentleman, Tucker may be right for you! Please email Hannah at hhecht@lollypop.org to schedule a meeting.
