Be Paid To Foster
There are more homeless dogs and cats than ever before. In order to give these animals a chance to get adopted quality foster homes are desperately needed.
Sometimes even when you want to help it isn’t possible, taking in another mouth to feed when money is so tight may not be an option.
When I received information about this program from Brooklyn Animal Foster Network I just had to share. It’s a win-win!
Paid Foster Homes Needed!
BAFN will pay $15.00 a day to foster a loving homeless dog or two cats; $10.00 a day for one cat.The current economic scenario is creating cause to worry for most of us-but we humans aren’t the only ones facing crisis. Many canine and feline pets are at risk when Brooklyn homeowners are forced to relocate due to change in employment or foreclosure, or when their owners can no longer afford to care for them. And finding qualified foster homes has become harder than ever for our overstressed organization. That is why BAFN is now offering $10.00 a day to foster a dog or two cats for qualified individuals to enjoy the companionship of an animal without the added expense. Pet food and kitty litter will also be provided.
Please fill out this SPECIAL PAID FOSTER PROGRAM foster application to be considered for this life-saving program.
THIS IS NOT A “MAKE AN EASY BUCK” scenario. You must have a genuine affection for and experience with animals, submit to a home check and provide references and proof that you are allowed to keep a pet in your home.
For more information call Laurie at (917) 754-3537.
Of course, if you can afford to foster animal without compensation, YOU ARE NEEDED NOW MORE THAN EVER! Please fill out the “Foster Form Without Compensation” here.
Since it’s founding in September of 2005, The Brooklyn Animal Foster Network (BAFN) has rescued more than 1,700 homeless cats and dogs and placed them in loving, temporary homes until they could be adopted.
Please share this information with all your dog, and cat, loving friends. Let’s help spread the word about The Brooklyn Animal Foster Network.

Good idea, but I hope people dont decide to do it just for the money and then not provide for the animals… hopefully everyone who takes advantage of this has their heart in the right place and takes proper care of the fosters
I think it is good idea, but I also think there may be a gew that might slip through, that may just do it fo the money. Kinda like foster homes for children. I am an animal lover, and if I had the room, I’d definately would consider it. My dream is to have my own rescue someday. I went over 2 years homeless, but my pets were cared for by some wonderful people.
Keep in mind this part of the article…”THIS IS NOT A “MAKE AN EASY BUCK” scenario. You must have a genuine affection for and experience with animals, submit to a home check and provide references and proof that you are allowed to keep a pet in your home.”
It seems like they have a good grip on the situation, which is why I posted. Because unfortunately, like the two comments above mentioned, some people may just want the money.
What a wonderful idea this is for people that have the room and the time to help these furry ones! We say way to go!

this is a GREAT idea for seniors that don’t want to take on a permanent pet, because they worry about illness and not being able to keep a pet at some point. Seniors have plenty of time, love and patience to share with a foster pet. The added bonus of not having to provide food and vet care from their own fixed income would certainly be a big bonus. At 60+ I know that at this point I do NOT want to take on any new pets as I would worry about them outliving me (puppies are a no-no).
As my own girls meet their fate, I think I would enjoy being a foster mommy to those who need it.
I think this is a wonderful idea, especially for a senior citizen. But I also think $10.00 a day/$300.00
per month plus food and medical is way to much.
If a person says they have to give up their pet because they can’t afford to take care of it, then I would rather see the money go to the owner and help them to keep the dog or cat.
Personally, I can’t see how a it could cost that much to keep a dog for a month unless their are medical issues involved.
So yes, I believe a lot of people will do it just for the money.
