FOSTER!
Open your heart--and home--to a loving animal! Fosters mean the world to us here at Lend-a-Paw, because we couldn't rescue the animals we do without the loving care, patience, and compassion of people just like you who are willing to help an animal decompress and get a little extra TLC. Most foster pets just need someone to show them the ropes, help them come out of their shell, or give them a safe place to live while we provide medical care or training resources. Become a hero for a pet in need, and fill out our application today!
Before submitting an adoption/foster application,
please read our adoption protocols to ensure the proper steps are taken.

Apollo is a larger dog, about 57 pounds, and he has possibly a congenital spinal issue that is causing him to lose mobility in his back two legs. His only hope is an amputation surgery, but we need someone who is willing to foster him while he heals.
He could go on to have a nice long life enjoying the sunshine in his backyard or at a beach while using a wheelchair.
We are looking for a kind-hearted soul and a caring approach to help him heal, as well as someone who is strong enough to lift him when he needs an extra boost.
Apollo is great with other dogs, and he warms up quickly to strangers, but sometimes needs just a little extra time and treats to make friends.
He is a wonderful, sweet boy, who was rescued from the euthanasia list at a city shelter, and he deserves the best life he can have! Please help us give him that.
A foster on Long Island, or in NYC would be ideal. We cover his veterinary care, his supplies, and his training.
Meet The Cheese Family! These cuties have been with us since they were just able to open their eyes, and are now about 5 months old. They have recently tested positive for FELV and need an experienced foster who can provide a loving environment until they can be retested at about 6 months old. They can be fostered separate or together, but there can be no other cats in the home.
Cassidy is our 3rd longest staying feline. She has been with us since kittenhood and has come so far. This baby girl was once the most shy in the play room, but now she is the star who cannot get enough of toys! She is waiting for that special someone to give her a chance to show how amazing she is at her own pace. Cassidy is about 2 years old, spayed, and up to date.
Diamond is a resilient and sweet-natured pup who has triumphed over adversity. Rescued from the brink of euthanasia earlier this year, she is looking for a calm and loving foster home where she can enjoy a relaxed and happy life. Diamond's energy level is on the lower side due to her medical history. She would thrive with someone who is retired or spends a lot of time at home, seeking a loyal and loving canine companion. She is about 2 years old, spayed, and up to date.
Rescued from the brink of euthanasia at a city shelter, Dreamgirl's story is one of hope and transformation. Initially scared when she arrived at her foster home, she has since blossomed into the sweetest and most affectionate companion, winning hearts with her endearing personality.
Dreamgirl has mastered the art of cuddling and has an undeniable knack for taking up the entire bed! She shared cozy moments with her fosters and is a big fan of playing tug of war-a game that brings her immense joy. While she's full of love, Dreamgirl would thrive best in a home where she's the only pet, allowing her to bask in all the attention. An active family that provides her with ample exercise would be ideal. For Dreamgirl's comfort and well-being, it's suggested that she's placed in a home with kids aged 16 and over. She is about 4 years old, spayed, and up to date.
Unfortunately, her foster had to relocate suddenly, so this sweet girl has been in boarding waiting for a new foster or forever family."

Gucci is a gorgeous, brindle girl with lots of love to share. Playing with her toys near you while you’re working or relaxing is her favorite thing to do. She also enjoys curling up next to you on the sofa for a nap, or with her head against your foot as you work on the computer. This girl obviously likes a calm life and being right by your side, and she would do well in a home where someone can spend quality time with her. She is about 4 years old, spayed, and up to date.
Harley Quinn was rescued from the ACC earlier this year. Unfortunately her fosters decided that they would have Harley taken away and brought back to the animal care centers of Manhattan, where she was awaiting euthanasia again, until someone came forward at the last minute. Harley is an amazing dog and loves humans. She would do best with no dogs cats or kids under 16 years old since she has lots of energy and loves to play. She about 2 years old, is up to date, spayed and microchipped.
Meet Henry! This handsome boy was trapped on Long Island and needs a foster experienced in socializing to get him ready for adoption. He absolutely loves snuggling with other cats, so a foster family with another feline friend is preferred. He is estimated at 3 years old, is neutered. and up to date
Meet Jasper! This handsome man has been with us since the summer, and loves getting love! He can be shy, but finds comfort in cozy corners and hanging out with the other quiet guys of the playroom. Jasper would love a foster family that will continue to allow him to open up at his own pace, while still giving him extra TLC! He is estimated at 3 years old, is neutered, and up to date.
