You could just target the parent footer, then iterate the children then use ->saveHTML() and continually add them inside your string container:

$dom = new DOMDocument('1.0');
$dom->loadHTML($input);
$xpath = new DOMXPath($dom);
$tags = $xpath->query('//div[contains(@class,"footer")]');

$innerHTML = '';
if($tags->length > 0) { // if found
    foreach($tags->item(0)->childNodes as $c) {
        $innerHTML .= $dom->saveHTML($c);
    }
}

echo $innerHTML;
