Foster Dogs & Puppies

Open Your Home, Become a Foster

Have You Ever Considered Fostering a Dog in Your Home?

We provide the food, YOU provide the love. A foster home provides one of our animals with a temporary home where it can feel like a valued family member. Foster homes not only spare animals from the stress of confinement in a cage in our shelter, but also provides them with a loving home environment and adequate socialization, which makes them more adoptable.

Most of our rescued animals stay in foster homes until adoption. Fostering can be the most rewarding and fulfilling experience for you! By fostering, you are helping to save the life of an unwanted animal. Fostering also gives you and/or your own pets the benefit of pet companionship without the worries of permanent ownership! There are also times when short-term medication foster homes are needed. 

What We're Looking For

Requirements

  • Fosters MUST be willing and able to drive to vet appointments and adoption meetings
  • Have experience with large breed dogs is a must to foster our larger dogs
  • Most of our foster dogs require that you have NO OTHER PETS in the home

Types of Dogs Needing Homes

Often the types of dogs we need foster homes for are:

  • Pregnant dogs
  • Orphaned litters
  • Single puppies
  • Moms with newborns
  • Large adult male dogs
  • Dogs with medical needs
  • Reactive dogs that are best suited homes with no kids or other pets


If you are open to taking any of the above types of dogs, please let us know in your application! 


Many of our dogs have special needs including no children or other animals in the home, a fenced area, or a strong handler. Some of our dogs are huge breeds that require big dog experience while others have specific medical needs. Our goal is to choose the correct foster home for the dog. Please do not be offended if you do not hear back from us! We are a 98% volunteer organization and are understaffed at this time and if you don't hear from us please feel free to check back in with us down the road.
