Fostering...



Fostering is the main essential component of rescuing the many dogs that come into our rescue.  Without Foster homes we cannot bring in more dogs or any dogs for that matter.  A foster home provides the love and care of the dog while he/she waits for a “forever” home. While in foster we can determine what the dog’s needs are and what home environment would be the “best” suited to that dog. That is the main goal of the rescue, to match a dog to the new home through a careful review process of the application and interview of the potential adopter.



Before placing a dog in the temporary foster home we again ensure that the dog and foster home is compatible to all involved. The rescue provides food, veterinary care, collars, leashes, toys etc. so that the foster home does not have any additional expenses. Potential adopters can only meet the dog once approved through the application process. We realize that since we are not a shelter people can’t just “pop in” to meet a dog. Once they are serious and approved; an appointment will be set up to meet the dog. .

We have great foster homes however, some come and go and we are always in need of more fosters as there are always dogs in need. If you ever considered saving a life…fostering a dog is the way to go. Without fosters, we are unable to continue the wonderful work we do…
