The Petfinder Foundation aims to support organizations in saving the lives of pets in need, having provided over $25 million in cash and product grants toward this mission.
The Dog Field Trip/Short-Term Fostering Grant provides funding for supplies needed by organizations’ short-term foster or dog field-trip programs. Eligible supplies include collars, leashes, harnesses, gentle leaders, collapsible or portable water/food bowls, potty bags, and “Adopt Me” vests among others. To qualify for this grant, recipients must have completed the Maddie's Fund Field Trip and Sleepover Foster Apprenticeship online course or a 3- to 5-day hands-on training. This program supports the enhancement of dogs' visibility and adoption opportunities through short-term fostering and field trips.
