    Fostering Is REALLY Hard. (Okay, Not Really.)

    Fostering is REALLY hard. 😩

    Step 1: go get a dog.

    Step 2: bring them home.

    Step 3: ...that's it. You have a foster dog.

    Okay, there's a little more to it than that — but especially when you foster with an established rescue like ours, it's easier than most people expect.

    What We Handle

    • Supplies — crate, leash, collar, food, and toys
    • Veterinary care for the length of the placement
    • Guidance to help your foster settle into your home
    • The work of finding your foster dog a home — screening applicants, hosting meet & greets, and getting them adopted

    What You Provide

    A safe place and the love. We'll be there to help with the rest.

    If you watched that whole clip looking at Dumplin' and thought, "Forget fostering, I want THAT dog" — we understand. He's a gentle, goofy 60-pound boy who's great with kids, cats, and other dogs, and he's currently available for adoption.
