Foster our dogs

If you want unconditional love, good play mates for your dog(s), satisfaction that you had a part in enriching another family’s life with a wonderful pet, watching abused and neglected dogs thrive in a loving environment, and giving a dog a second chance at life, fostering is for you!

If you have older children who are thinking about getting a part-time job or going to college, most potential employers and colleges look favorably at students who volunteer their time. It is also a great way to teach younger children responsibility.

Short-term care, lifelong love

Fostering allows you to provide a safe and loving environment for a dog on their journey to finding a forever home. Your short-term dedication can have a lasting impact on their happiness and behavior, making them more adaptable and ready for their forever family.

Learn About Different Breeds

Fostering exposes you to various dog breeds and personalities, offering a chance to learn more about their specific needs, behaviors, and quirks. It’s an educational and enriching experience that broadens your understanding of the canine world.

Expand Second Chance’s Impact

Fostering directly contributes to the rescue and adoption process. By offering your time and care, you’re freeing up space in shelters for more dogs in need. It’s a tangible way to be a part of the solution to pet overpopulation.

Flexibility and Experience

Fostering is flexible – you can choose how often and when you’re available to foster. It’s a great way to experience the joys of pet companionship without the long-term commitment, making it suitable for various lifestyles.

Healing for You and Them

Many dogs rescued from challenging situations need extra care, patience, and love. Fostering helps them heal emotionally and physically, and the bond you create can be incredibly rewarding for both of you.

Prepare pups for adoption

Fostering prepares dogs for their forever homes. Your insights into their behavior, preferences, and personality quirks play a vital role in matching them with the perfect family, increasing their chances of a successful adoption.

Join a Supportive Community 

Fostering connects you with a community of like-minded individuals who share your passion for helping animals. You’ll receive support, advice, and resources from fellow fosters and rescue organizations.

Fostering a dog is a remarkable way to combine your love for animals with your desire to make a positive impact. The temporary companionship, knowledge gained, and satisfaction of knowing you are changing lives are just a few of the rewards fostering brings. Embrace the opportunity to be a hero in a dog’s story – a hero that nurtures, guides, and ultimately sets them on the path to a joyful, loving future.
