Every animal deserves a next home.

FosterMarket connects animals who need a new home with people nearby who have room for one. It's free to use, and it's for every kind of animal.

Find a home

For an animal
you can't keep

  1. List them with photos and what they need. Your town shows, your address doesn't.
  2. See people near you who are offering a home, and reach out first if you like.
  3. Talk it through, meet, and choose who's right. No pressure, no clock.
Offer a home

For when you
have room

  1. Say what you could take in: the kind of animal, your space, your experience.
  2. Browse animals near you, or let owners and rescues find you.
  3. Get a note when an animal that fits comes up within your range.

Every kind of animal. Even the ones that don't fit in a carrier.

Cats and dogs, yes. Also goats, hens, horses, pythons, parrots and pigs: if an animal needs a home and can legally be rehomed where you are, it belongs here.

Built on trust.

Free to use
No fees to list, browse or message, and FosterMarket never takes a cut. Shelters, rescues and owners can still ask an adoption or rehoming fee.
Private by default
Listings show your town, never your address. You share more when you're ready.
Not a store
No breeders, auctions or shipping. Every animal is a rehome.
Verified rescues
Rescues and sanctuaries get a badge once we've checked who they are.
Report and block
Anything that looks wrong goes to a person, not just a filter.

For rescues and sanctuaries

List the animals in your care, and when you're full, point owners to the people near them who are offering a home.
