Thank you for applying to be a Foster or Adopter! We will reach out to you within the next 48 hours. Thank you for your patience, as we are completely staffed by volunteers!

Thank you for your interest in fostering one of our dogs! We simply couldn't do what we do without our valued Foster Families. While dogs listed in the Available Dogs section are available to be adopted outright, we strongly encourage the foster-to-adopt pathway, because it will allow you the time to discover if the dog is suited to your lifestyle, work schedule, and energy level. We also encourage meet & greets with any existing animals in the home.

Saving one dog will not change the world, 
but surely for that one dog, the world will change forever.
