We are always in need of Fosters, all year round! Without fosters, we cannot save dogs in need. Most of the time, we make sure to have a foster on stand-by and ready, before we agree to take in a dog.
The more fosters we have, the more dogs we can save. Dog food and medical care are provided for the foster dog, while in your care.
(If you would like to provide your own dog food for your foster dog, just let us know. We will take care of the medical!)
One of the biggest rewards of fostering is knowing that you played an instrumental part in saving a dog's life. We need fosters until the rescued dog finds a forever home. And the best part is!.... If you fall in love with your foster dog, you have first dibs on adopting them!
Foster must be 21 & older.
"Our family began fostering dogs in 2016 and since then, have found furever homes for 16 dogs. Working together on finding a home for our fosters has made our family grow closer and encouraged giving and empathy within us all. Fostering truly is a family affair and we feel so lucky to be in the business of saving dog's lives."
Having fostered over 100 dogs: "Fostering is a win-win for all. You help a fearful dog feel safe and secure. You receive companionship from many different breeds of dogs. By giving attention and discipline, you help the dog become adoptable. When you exercise your foster, you get exercise too. If your foster needs spaying or neutering, your home is a a good place to recuperate. And if that isn't enough, the rescue provides the dog food and pays any vet bills necessary for your foster".
"In 2017, my family's hearts were broken when both of our beloved dogs crossed the rainbow bridge. We weren't ready for a new furry family member, so we decided to foster 5 poodle puppies who were rescued from neglect. The puppies were timid of people, emaciated, weak and very dirty. After two months of of love, food and vet visits, the puppies were finally ready to be adopted. Dolly, Bambina, Thurston, Truman & Kit all found forever homes. A perk of fostering is being able to "foster fail" which is what I did with Thurston. I knew from the beginning I couldn't let him go! He filled a new place in my family's heart. I'm a proud foster mom and will continue to help advocate and provide rehab for helpless animals in need. Thurston rescued me and I can't imagine my life without him.
