Why Foster? Fostering a dog or puppy is more than just a generous act; it’s a lifeline. Every day, countless canines wait for the love and warmth of a home. By fostering, you provide these precious souls with the human interaction and love they desperately need to thrive and maintain an adoptable state.

Social Skills: Interaction with humans and other pets in your home teaches them trust and sociability.
Space for More: Every dog fostered creates room for another in need at the shelter.
Saving Lives: Quite simply, fostering saves lives. It’s the bridge from past hardships to future happiness.

What Does Fostering Involve?

Temporary Home: Offer a safe and nurturing environment until a forever home is found.
Basic Training: Help with house manners and simple commands.
Lots of Cuddles: Provide the affection these dogs crave and deserve.

Carmen is a beach-loving explorer with a heart as big as the ocean! She recently aced her beach outing, enjoying the breeze and sniffing out new scents with ease. Carmen navigated the car ride like a pro and remained calm even when faced with unexpected scooter encounters.

This engaging and affectionate pup leans in for scritches and responds eagerly to commands. She's treat-motivated and enjoys gentle interactions, making her a joy to be around. Whether she’s gazing back at you with those soulful eyes or sitting patiently for some well-deserved head pets, Carmen’s devotion knows no bounds.

Carmen thrives in a home with experienced owners who can continue positive reinforcement training. Due to her resource guarding tendencies, she's best suited for a household without children.

Are you ready to make Carmen your adventure-ready sidekick?

Meet Lina, the lovable 1-year-old black lab/husky mix, weighing in at a spritely 60 lbs. With her friendly disposition and impressive treat-catching skills, Lina is the darling of shelter playgroups, adored by both humans and canines alike. She's a quick learner, mastering "sit" with ease, thanks to her food-motivated nature, which makes training a breeze. She prefers to stay close (or check in regularly) with the volunteers who take her out on walks, adding to her charm and easy handling.

With her fantastic leash manners and youthful energy, Lina is the ideal companion for outdoor adventures. Lina would thrive in an active home where she can continue to learn and grow, whether with a furry companion or as a solo dog with plenty of socialization opportunities. Ready to add a dash of sweetness to your life? Consider making Lina a part of your forever family.

Meet Roscoe, the epitome of sweetness, ease, and affection-seeking charm! This 4-year-old velvet hippo is on a mission to find the loving home he truly deserves, and we're here to make sure he gets it!

While we're not entirely sure about Roscoe's past, one thing is certain—he's ready to start a new chapter filled with love, warmth, and plenty of cuddles. Despite his unknown history, Roscoe has shown himself to be a sweet and easygoing companion, eager to shower his future family with love and affection.

Roscoe came to us with another dog but has shown himself to be mostly independent when it comes to canine companionship. He's a true velvet hippo at heart, preferring to bask in the love and attention of his human friends.

Roscoe has been treated for chronic ear inflammation/infection and an injury to his left eye. While he may need ongoing ear care and follow-up for his eye, he is otherwise healthy and ready for adoption. A post-adoption health exam with a veterinarian is recommended for further care and treatment guidance.

If you're ready to open your heart and home to a sweet, affectionate, and resilient companion, look no further than Roscoe! Come meet him today and discover the joy of unconditional love!

Get ready to meet Disco, a playful and intelligent 8-month-old pup (40 lbs) with a mix of pittie, boxer, and cattle dog in her genes. This dancing girl is searching for an active, loving home that's the perfect fit for her boundless energy and zest for life.

Here's what makes Disco a party animal:

Brainiac Pup: Disco's a quick learner who loves mastering new tricks and commands.

Alert & Protective: Disco will keep you safe! She's a watchful pup who will let you know if anything's amiss.

Playful Powerhouse: Get ready for zoomies! Disco loves fetch, roughhousing with big dog buddies (off-leash), and exploring the great outdoors.

Snuggle Monster: When the playtime is over, Disco transforms into a cuddly companion who loves spending quality time with her favorite humans.

Things to Consider:

Energizer Bunny: Disco has tons of energy to burn! She'd thrive in a home with an active lifestyle that includes running, agility training, or playtime with other large dogs.

Leash Manners in Progress: Disco is still learning proper leash etiquette and might react to other dogs on walks. An experienced owner comfortable with training or willing to invest in professional guidance is ideal.

Living Situation: Disco would do best in a home without small children or other pets (due to her boisterous play style). Ideally a quieter or rural setting with space to roam or a home where she can be the top dog would be her dream come true.

Disco's Ideal Forever Home:

An active owner who can provide Disco with all the exercise and training she craves.

A home without small children or with large dogs who can match her playful energy.

A quiet setting or a home with a safe, off-leash play area.

Someone experienced with leash reactivity and training high-energy dogs.
