Foster A Dog

Fostering is one of our most needed “barking attendants” and also the determining factor in our ability to save lives. We can only house so many animals at our facility. The rest need “temporary barking” while we work on finding them “permanent barking” (a good home). Plus, the fostered dog receives the benefit of getting socialized within a home and family, making it much easier to place them when the time comes.

If you’re willing & able to foster one of our amazing dogs, please fill out our Foster Application form. By doing so, you are helping to save lives!
