Be a foster hero.

Give a Dog a Break—Even for Just a Few Hours

A few hours. A night. A weekend. That’s all it takes to change a dog’s life. While our team provides top-notch care, nothing compares to the comfort of a home—even for a short stay. A break from the shelter can reduce stress, improve well-being, and help us learn more about a dog’s personality outside of the shelter environment. 

SIGN UP TODAY

* BY APPOINTMENT ONLY *

What you provide:

  • A safe, loving space for a few hours, a night, or longer
  • Basic care, including food, water, and affection
  • Transportation to and from Gigi's for adoption meetings or medical care
  • Opportunities for socialization—walks, car rides, or time around people and pets
  • Photos, videos, and feedback on how your foster dog does in a home and out in the community 

What Gigi's provides:

  • All supplies—food, medication, blankets, bowls, toys, a crate, and a leash
  • A dedicated team to answer questions and provide guidance 
  • Flexibility for long-term and short-term fosters, or just an afternoon field trip

How it works:

  1. Sign up – Fill out our quick form to join our foster team.
  2. Get matched – We’ll highlight dogs most needing a foster home each week.
  3. Take them home – Pick up your foster dog and give them a well-earned break.
  4. Share the love – Provide care, socialization, and updates, photos and videos on how they’re doing.
  5. Bring them back – Return them to Gigi’s in Canal Winchester for adoption meetings or medical care.
