Foster a Dog!

Become a foster parent!   Fostering a dog is a wonderful way to help a dog prepare for their forever home!  Whether they need to learn basic commands or are just very shy and scared, fostering not only is helping that dog adjust to life in a home but helping  their chances of a successful forever home.  And it makes you feel good to see the changes and growth in your foster dog!  And we provide everything you need!  Interested?  Here's what you need to know:

2 . Be willing to teach basic commands .

3 .  Be in Amelia, Powhatan, Chesterfield or Midlothian areas!

4 . Help with transport to vet appointments.

FOSTER-TO-ADOPT INFORMATION:

Yes! We allow Fostering-To-Adopt! The same rules as above apply to you, except you must be within 1.5 hours from the Rescue and willing to meet halfway. You have approximately 2 weeks to decide if you want to adopt or not. We ask that if you decide not to adopt, that you continue to foster until adopted. 

You must also be in agreement with our policy that all dogs & puppies are spayed & neutered as soon as possible! IF YOU DO NOT AGGREE WITH OUR POLICY, DO NOT FOSTER-TO-ADOPT! 

Can you give us just a few hours a week to help out? Whether it's taking a dog for a walk, spending time teaching basic commands, being a part of an adoption event,  bathing puppies, cleaning kennels, doing paper work, transporting to vet appointments, whatever way you can help out is always needed and appreciated!! You pick your job and how often you can help! It feels good to be a part of a team of volunteers doing what they can to help homeless dogs become happy family members! We love  having teenagers help out as well! If you are under 16, your parent must accompany you during your volunteer hours. If your 16 - 18, just a parent signature is needed!  Give us a call or text if you have questions! Volunteer applications and Waiver form must be completed and turned in before starting! They can be found below! 

Come be a part of a growing Rescue in your community! It just feels good and it's fun!
