One of the most important and rewarding parts of rescuing dogs is being a foster parent! Without a doubt, our fosters are our biggest asset. If we don’t have loving foster homes waiting for them, we can’t save homeless dogs from kill shelters. A foster parent actually saves TWO lives: The dog that can leave the shelter and become their foster dog, and the one that the shelter now has room to keep so it has a chance to be adopted or rescued! All of the dogs you see on this website are alive today because someone like you stepped forward to foster them!
