Foster A Herding Dog & Save A Life
The number of dogs we can pull from the shelters and save from death is directly related to the number of foster homes we have available.
Sometimes it only takes a little time to network a good dog to find just the right fit. By using our foster families, we can accept more dogs before their time runs out and give them the best chance to find their new home. Fostering can be for a very short time, or longer as needed. If you can foster a dog just let us know what you are willing to commit to and we will find the right match for you. Medical expenses are paid for by us (with prior approval)—all you need to do is feed and fulfill the basic needs for the foster dog.
