The nonprofit that supports the people who foster dogs in San Diego & SoCal

Fido Foster Community Rescue exists to make your fostering journey easier, rewarding, and fun. Because when foster families thrive, more dogs get saved

We know that fostering can feel overwhelming, especially for first-timers. That's why we're here, to be your teammate every step of the way. From your first questions to your tenth foster dog, we provide expert matching with rescues across San Diego, personalized mentorship, and a welcoming community that has your back.

But we don't stop at support. We believe fostering should be joyful. Through partnerships with local San Diego businesses, we offer foster families access to free and discounted activities from smoothies on beach days, tastey meals on dog friendly patios, to coffee with pup cups so you can create meaningful memories with your foster dog.

Let's build a San Diego where fostering is accessible, joyful, and community-driven because when foster families succeed, countless dogs find their way home.

Ready to foster? We'll help you find your perfect match.
