Why Fostering Matters

  • Transition

    Fostering gives dogs the chance to decompress in a calm, loving environment after the stress of shelter or street life. It allows them to rebuild trust, develop confidence, and learn basic manners that make them more adoptable. You’re not just giving them a temporary home—you’re helping them become their best selves so they can thrive with their future family.

  • Builds better matches for adopters

    As a foster, you get to know your dog’s quirks, preferences, and personality—insight we can’t get in a kennel. That info helps us match them with the perfect adopter and sets them up for lifelong success.

  • More space for more rescues

    Every time you foster, you make room for another dog to be rescued. With limited shelter and foster home capacity and more dogs in need than ever, foster homes are the key to keeping dogs out of overcrowded shelters and off the streets and giving them a real shot at finding a forever home.

  • Anyone with a safe, loving home.

  • Families, singles, seniors—everyone’s welcome.
