Animal Fosters

Fosters, working with a non-profit 501(c)(3) animal organization, can organize a PetNamy campaign to raise awareness, funds, and a forever home for animals in their care. Since the animal is in their home, they can more easily post updates on its well-being and share photos than the Rescue Organization. The funds from the campaign go directly to the non-profit, even though the foster manages it.

We're sorry but cannot allow independent fosters to run campaigns. We highly recommend that you contact a local animal rescue organization. They desperately need foster care and will help you with food and support for the foster animal.

The non-profit organization needs a PetNamy account, and the foster needs to ask for permission to run campaigns for them. We do not want a rescue organization and foster running campaigns on the same animal.

Accounts:

The Foster, with their own PetNamy account, enters the public information of that rescue organization on their user profile. So visitors can communicate directly with the organization for more details or adoptions. (For the foster's and animals privacy)

If you are a foster, ask the organization you are working with to create an account on PetNamy so that you can help them raise funds. We must ensure donations are sent to the proper address, etc.

If you are a one-person foster that is a 501(c)(3), set your user settings to "Animal Rescue."  Provide your organization's information and start PetNamy Campaigns.

Starting a Campaign:

The foster and Rescue organization has active accounts on PetNamy.

You will follow the usual steps for setting up a campaign, including entering a Title, Story, and photos of the animal you want to campaign for. You may include a link to the animal's specific adoption page in the Story area.

On the final part of Starting a Campaign, you'll need to set the percentage amount to %100 and the Select menu to "Non-Profit animal organization this foster volunteer for."

Then, Start and Share your new campaign on your social media connections.

All submitted donations will go to the animal rescue organization.  At the end of the month, the funds from completed campaigns are combined and sent to the non-profit.

Currently, a Foster can only have one Rescue Organization in their profile. Some fosters may be working with multiple animal rescue organizations (three dogs from three Organizations). We are working on adding the ability to select which rescue organization you are volunteering for and to which your foster animal belongs.
