Interested in Fostering?

Opening your home to a rescue dog is one of the most life-saving things you can do. Fosters are the heart of our rescue! Without them, we cannot save nearly so many lives.

We specialize in rescuing dogs that are at euthanasia risk. This can include anything from the shelter not having space, those who may have been overlooked for too long, or those with behavioral challenges or lack of training. Many of our dogs are incredibly loving and loyal. They just need structure, guidance, and a safe place to decompress. That safe place could be your home.

When you foster, you:

  • Save a dog from euthanasia or shelter stress

  • Help us learn about their personality in a home setting

  • Give them stability, structure, and a chance to reset

  • Play a direct role in helping them find their forever family

Fostering truly bridges the gap between rescue and forever.

What We Provide

We set our fosters up for success. Our rescue provides:

  • Veterinary care

  • Training guidance and support

  • Supplies as needed (crate, leash, etc., when available)

  • Ongoing communication and mentorship

Because many of our dogs come from difficult situations, we are very hands-on and involved. You will never be left to figure things out alone.

What We Ask From You

  • A safe and stable home environment

  • Willingness to follow structure and training guidelines

  • Patience and consistency

  • Open communication

  • The ability to transport to vet or training appointments if needed

Experience with dogs is wonderful, but more than anything, we value commitment and willingness to learn.

Who Makes a Great Foster?

You might be a great fit if:

  • You’re passionate about helping dogs that need a second chance

  • You understand that decompression takes time

  • You are comfortable with structure and clear boundaries

  • You want to be part of a rescue mission that changes lives

The Commitment

Foster timelines vary. Some dogs are placed quickly; others need more time. We do our best to give realistic expectations before placement and match dogs appropriately to your household.

Our goal is always to support both the dog and the foster home.
