Become a Foster


 

Fostering is the one of the most essential parts of rescue. 

A foster home provides rescue dogs the opportunity to decompress, get comfortable, gain confidence and show off their personalities.  It helps them relearn or learn for the first time, how live in a home as part of a family.

Foster families help us determine what the ideal adoptive home would be for their foster dog.  This is HUGE!  The more we know about a dogs' likes and dislikes...the more successful we are in matching families up with their new addition.

Of course it is very difficult to say "goodbye" when the time comes, but it is also extremely rewarding.  Watching your foster dog blossom as a result of your love and care is an amazing experience.  And seeing your foster dog go to an amazing adoptive home...is the biggest reward of all.  

Without foster homes, we could not commit to pulling shelter dogs or taking in owner surrenders.  Although we can never predict how long it will take for a foster dog to be adopted, generally it takes 1-6 weeks depending on the particular dog and their needs.
