The adoption/ foster process.

What do you want to do?

Follow these simple steps:

Identify the dog you want. Check out our available dogs.
Complete the adoption application. This helps us get to know you better.
Meet the dog. If you haven’t met the dog yet, we’ll bring the dog to your place. If you have another dog(s), we can manage introductions between the new dog and your family (including your dog(s)) with one of our trainers.
Bring the dog home. Once you’re approved, you can come pick up your new buddy. We’ll give you specific instructions for how to integrate your new dog into your pack. We got you!

If you can't adopt a dog right now but are interested in fostering one until a permanent home is found, let’s talk. Here’s the process:

Check out our foster guidelines. It answers a lot of questions you might have.
Next, fill out a foster application. This lets us get to know you better and match you with the right foster pup.
Meet the dog. We’ll bring the dog over so we can see if there’s a love connection. We can also have one of our trainers conduct any intros with other dogs, if needed.
If it’s a good fit, congratulations! You now have a new foster pup. All you have to do is feed, exercise, and love it to death!

As an Outta the Cage foster, you’ll enjoy these perks:

Wanna do it? We know you do. Seriously. Let’s do it.

If Outta the Cage is sponsoring a dog (you can check here), we will cover the adoption fees when you adopt the dog from the shelter.

Here’s how it works: Go to the shelter to adopt the dog. During the adoption checkout process, the shelter will notify us to pay the adoption fee.

Yes, it’s that simple.
