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 Stella! This compact little sweetheart came to Lollypop Farm after her dad went into long term care. In bulldog style, she's a bit of a couch potato. Rather than intense exercise, she will have a short burst of running and playing, and then resume her beauty rest. She has done well with children and we do not know her history with other dogs, but she has not been bothered when crossing paths with other dogs. In her foster home, she has proven to be crate trained and housebroken but will need a bit of grace as she adjusts to a new home. If you think Stella is the missing piece for your family, please email adoption counselor Noah: nengle@lollypop.org
