We greatly appreciate people of all ages who want to make a difference in a dog's life. However, fostering requires a certain level of stability and responsibility, which can be challenging for young adults balancing school, new jobs, or frequent moves.

To ensure the best care for our dogs, we require foster applicants to be at least 23 years old. This helps us provide a consistent environment for the dogs in our program.

We do, however, welcome anyone 18 and older to help in other ways with the rescue. Those under 18 can also volunteer if accompanied by a guardian who is at least 18 years old. This includes snuggling puppies at our facility, helping with social media, fundraising events, and more!

Please follow this link to learn more and become a volunteer today!

I acknowledge that while I and my home may be approved for fostering a dog, if I want to be considered to adopt the dog I must fill out an adoption application. I understand that fostering a dog does not guarantee that I will be the best forever home for the dog. I also acknowledge that I will not promise the animal to anyone, or imply that I have the authority to approve a potential adoption.

I agree
