    A Free 2-Week Trial to Foster or Adopt Rickey or Dumplin'

    FacebookWhatsApp

    Overthinking whether to foster or adopt? We have an offer for the overthinkers.

    Rickey Henderson and Dumplin' are two of the sweetest dogs in our care, and neither one has received a single application. We know that if someone just gave one of them a chance, they'd fall in love — either with fostering, or with Rickey or Dumplin' specifically.

    So here's the deal: try fostering Rickey or Dumplin' for up to two weeks. Or try a trial adoption of either of them for up to two weeks. That's it — two weeks, completely free, no pressure.

    We don't normally offer trial adoptions, but these two very good boys deserve a real chance to be seen. We can even loan you a crate and other supplies to make it easy.

    Worst case? You spend two weeks helping an amazing dog. Best case? You discover you can't live without him.

    You can meet Rickey and Dumplin' and read their full stories on our website.

    Must be local to the Murrieta, CA area. Apply to foster or adopt at thecomebackpack.org.
