Save a Dog’s Life—Without a Lifetime Commitment

Love dogs but not ready for the full-time responsibility of owning one? You can still make a life-changing difference.

At Farmica, you don’t have to adopt permanently to help. By opening your heart and home to one of our 180 rescue dogs—even temporarily—you’re giving them a second chance at life, love, and a forever family.

Every foster home frees up space in our shelter, allowing us to rescue another dog in urgent need. Many are strays surviving on the streets after being abandoned, or victims of neglect and abuse. Fostering creates a vital bridge between rescue and adoption.

Why Foster with Farmica?

• We cover all essential costs, including food, veterinary care, bedding, and supplies.
• You provide comfort and stability, helping a dog adjust to home life—something especially valuable for shy, traumatised, or under-socialised dogs.
• You play a key role in helping us find their perfect match, by getting to know the dog’s personality, preferences, and needs.
• You offer socialisation and confidence-building, helping dogs become more adoptable and emotionally secure.
• You gain companionship and emotional rewards—even temporarily, having a dog in your life can ease loneliness, reduce stress, and bring a sense of joy and purpose.
• You help future adopters, as dogs who have already lived in a home often transition more easily into their new lives.
• You get a no-pressure trial run if you’re considering adopting a dog in the future.
• We offer full flexibility to fit your lifestyle. Going on holiday? We’ll care for the dog in your absence. Facing an emergency? We’ll step in immediately.
• We match dogs thoughtfully, ensuring their personality and needs align with your experience and preferences—especially if you’re a first-time fosterer.
• If it doesn’t work out, we will collect the dog promptly and, if you wish, find a better fit.

You Can Be the Bridge to a Better Life

Fostering saves lives—and it could transform yours, too.

Please consider fostering a dog today.

You may be surprised by just how meaningful and rewarding the experience can be.
You’ll be giving hope, healing, and a fresh start—one wagging tail at a time.
