Become a foster…

You don’t just make their lives better, they make yours.

As a foster parent, you have an opportunity to open your heart and home to a dog who might not make it out of the shelter alive. It is a very rewarding experience to help a foster dog learn, grow and trust.

We do not pull dogs from their shelters without a confirmed foster family for them to be placed with, so registering to be a foster family is one of the most important jobs one can take on.

Happy Hearts Dog Rescue will provide you with everything you need to take care of your foster dog:

  • Medications (heartworm, flea/tick prevention and antibiotics, if needed)

  • Food and treats

  • Crate

  • Collar and leash

  • Blanket and toys

  • Advice and support

You’ll Provide:

  • A safe temporary home

  • Your patience

  • Photos and videos

  • A short Bio of your foster

  • Transporting your foster dog to a meet ‘n’ greet/home visit (mileage is tax deductible!)

  • Help in determining if a potential adopter is a good fit
