Fostering saves lives!
How? Imagine a shelter full of kennels maxed out to capacity. The shelter needs to clear out space so they choose a number of dogs for euthanasia – sometimes by the end of the day, sometimes right away. As a rescue, we’d like to rescue these dogs facing their untimely end – but we need a place to put them. That’s where YOU come in! By making room in your home, you give us this place and ultimately buy time to find these pups new homes or give them the time they need to receive veterinarian and healing care.
There are different kinds of fosters all varying in type(s) of animals, ages, kids/no kids, length of commitment, etc. But generally they all do the same thing: take care of their foster pup like their own family.
