We want families like you! That’s right families make amazing fosters and we’d love for you to join our team! Not only would opening your home help save a life but you would teach your children the value of life. They’ll learn compassion, understanding and the willingness to give. It’s amazing how doing one simple thing can positively alter so many different lives. And here’s the thing fostering doesn’t have to be a long term commitment. Even if you can only help for a short amount of time we can use you! We need the following foster situations:-short term fosters for transport dogs (this gets the dog out of the shelter and safe while they wait for their flight). This also frees up shelter space for incoming dogs. Typical time commitment 1-2 weeks-weekend fosters. Fosters are human and have lives outside of fostering. Weekend fosters give current fosters a safe place to stay while the primary foster is out of town. Typical time commitment 2-4 days-senior fosters. Love the seniors? There are tons in the shelter with minimal opportunities to get out. Fosters give them a chance to exit the shelter, go into rescue and have the time needed to find an adoptive home. Typical time commitment 2-6 months -large dog fosters. Large and medium size dogs are the most at risk in our shelter system. They have the least options for shelter exit and are the most frequently euthanized in shelters. By fostering a medium or large dog you are truly saving a life! Typical time commitment 2-4 months -small dog fosters. Want to help but can’t do the big guys? There are lots of small dogs also needing out of the shelter. Typical time commitment 2-3 months -puppy fosters. Some people just love puppies and our shelters are full of them! Want to help an entire family? We can find you one and puppies are soooo much fun! Typical time commitment 2-4 monthsThere are so many ways to help.
