Why Foster?

Fostering is the heart of our organization. Shelters across the country are overwhelmed with the amount of dogs being surrendered and found as strays, leaving countless dogs without the space, stimulation, or stability they need to thrive. The longer a dog waits in a stressful shelter environment, the harder it becomes as anxiety builds, behaviors emerge, and the chances of finding a home begin to fade. Fostering offers them safety and a nurturing environment, allowing them to adjust while awaiting their forever family. Your home gives them the best chance at finding their forever home.

Fostering comes at no cost to you. We cover all necessary care expenses, including veterinary costs for your foster dog.

Ideally, our foster families care for their foster dogs until they find a permanent home, which can range from 2 months to 1+ year(s). Unfortunately, the demand for dogs has decreased, and we’re seeing wonderful, adoptable dogs stay in foster homes longer than usual due to an imbalance between supply and demand. We do our best to match you with a dog that aligns with your lifestyle, experience and environment.

If adopting isn’t feasible at the moment, fostering allows you to experience the joys of having a dog without the lifelong commitment.

Witnessing a dog blossom in a home environment, shedding their fears and embracing their true selves, is an immensely rewarding experience.

Organizations like ours rely on foster families. We don’t have a physical facility, so every dog in a foster home opens up shelter space, enabling us to save more lives. Your support as a foster makes a massive difference.
