Tell Us About Your Organization's Foster Programs and Practices

Hi,

This survey asks questions that will help us evaluate your foster program and determine the next steps that will help you reach your goals. Please have the person most familiar with your organization’s foster program respond to this survey. It will take about 20 minutes to complete.

Note that the questions aren't intended to suggest that organizations should be implementing everything mentioned in the survey. Some choices refer to items which aren't currently best practices for foster programs, but that many shelters still do. Asking questions about things that are, and are not best practices helps us to make recommendations for your organization.

Specific data from your organization and its foster program during the last calendar year will be required, such as:

Total cat intake
Total dog intake
Total cat foster placements
Total dog foster placements
Total number of foster caregivers who took pets home
Total full time and part time staff and volunteers who manage the foster program

If you have questions about this survey, please email duer@maddiesfund.org.

Thank you!
