Everest Foster Program

Open your home. Save a life. Fostering gives last-chance dogs a soft place to land while we secure permanent refuge.

We’re building our first circle of fosters, the founding team who will stand ready when the call comes. By joining the Everest Program waitlist, you’ll be vetted, trained, and prepared to take in a dog at a moment’s notice.

This isn’t just a list, it’s a lifeline. Every foster home we secure now means one more dog we can pull tomorrow. If you’ve got space in your heart and home, sign up today and be part of the group that carries Everest’s legacy forward.

Can’t Foster But Still Want to Help?

Not everyone can foster a dog, but everyone can help make fostering possible.

Our Everest Foster Support Circle is a monthly membership created for people who want to stand behind foster homes across the country by helping cover the real, ongoing costs of foster care.

Fostering takes time, commitment, and heart. The Support Circle exists to ensure that no foster is carrying that responsibility alone.

What the Support Circle Does

Monthly contributions from the Everest Foster Support Circle are used specifically to help offset the costs of caring for dogs in foster homes, including:

  • Food and essential supplies

  • Veterinary care and medications

  • Training and behavioral support

  • Emergency and transitional needs

These shared resources allow foster homes to focus on what matters most, providing safety, stability, and care.

What Being Part of the Support Circle Means

Support Circle members are not sponsoring individual dogs or directing outcomes. Instead, they are helping sustain the entire foster ecosystem.

As a member of the Everest Foster Support Circle, you’ll receive:

  • Periodic updates and stories from dogs supported through the Everest Foster Program

  • Photos and short videos offering a glimpse into foster life and progress

  • Behind-the-scenes insight into how foster care is making a difference

  • The knowledge that your steady support helps keep foster care accessible and sustainable

This is a collective effort, small monthly commitments, working together to create real impact.

A Simple Way to Stand Behind Foster Care

The Everest Foster Support Circle is a $7 monthly membership, open to supporters anywhere in the country.

It’s designed for those who believe in foster care, even if fostering isn’t possible for them right now.

Because foster care works best when it’s supported by a community.
