Most people foster for they're local animal shelter or rescue. You can usually just contact them and tell them you are interested in becoming a foster.
You can find local rescues and animal shelters by search for them on petfinder.com - just use your state and city to search:

After you sign up as one of their fosters, most rescues do give you information or help you as far as getting the dog you are fostering adopted out.
I've been a foster for many years... and I have pictures of every single dog I've fostered. Some take longer to find homes than others and some end up staying for good (as you reach a bond that is truely unbreakable)
It can be pretty challenging at times, especially if you get puppy mill, abused, neglected dogs.... but seeing how they eventually turn out makes everything worth your while.
Hope this answers some of your questions
