FOSTER
More Foster Parents = More Dogs Saved
Being a foster means bringing a homeless dog (or two) into your home, caring for them, and providing them with affection and socialization until a permanent family comes along who will love them forever. Fosters truly are the front line for our dogs and a critical step in saving more lives!

A dog’s time in a foster home can range from a few days to a couple of months. Every rescue is different, so every foster experience will be different. Families can expect to keep the dog until they are adopted. We are able to give a better estimate for your specific foster dog(s) before you take them home.

If you have existing pets, introducing a dog can be a great experience for them as an additional companion, additional socialization, and an additional playmate! Children can benefit from fostering as a way to introduce responsibility, selflessness, a way to educate about animals, and it's also a great way to "test" the idea of a permanent dog into your home in the future.

When the day comes that your foster finds that perfect home, their new fur-ever family will be overjoyed that you took such good care of their pup. Knowing that a dog has found his happy ending and that another precious life awaits to be afforded your gifts, is as good of a feeling as there is!
