Animal Control Foster Volunteer Application

Fostering animals in need is one of the most impactful ways to support your local animal control program and give pets a second chance while they await their forever homes. This Animal Control Foster Volunteer Application template makes it easy for municipal animal services, shelters, and rescue organizations to screen, evaluate, and onboard qualified foster caregivers efficiently.

Built for animal control departments and animal welfare organizations, this form collects everything you need to match animals with the right foster homes—from household composition and species preferences to medical care capability and availability for temporary or long-term placements. The conditional logic adapts questions based on applicant responses, and the built-in appointment scheduler lets you book home inspection visits without the back-and-forth.

With Paperform's Papersign integration, approved applicants can review and electronically sign your foster care agreement directly from their submission, creating a complete audit trail and keeping all documentation in one place. Use Stepper workflows to automatically route applications to the right team members for review, send follow-up emails based on approval status, and sync foster caregiver data to your shelter management software or CRM.

Whether you're managing a small municipal program or a regional rescue network, this template helps you build a reliable pool of foster volunteers who are prepared, informed, and ready to provide temporary homes for animals in transition.
