Foster
New England & East Tennessee FOSTER HOMES NEEDED NOW!
All of the dogs above were from a kill shelter that is almost ALWAYS over capacity. The shelteres cannot take in anymore dogs unless they are euthanized. Once the shelters reach capacity, they will euthanize healthy, young, and good natured dogs. Volunteers in the community do all they can to help promote the dogs at the shelter and make plese for rescues or adopters to save them.
The state of Tennessee gives stray dogs THREE days to find their owner, rescue, or new adopter. If a dog is not saved by the end of day three, the dog is at risk of euthanasia. Dogs who have been DUMPED at the shelter by owners are only given 24 hours for a rescue or adopter. After 24 hours, the dog is at risk of euthanasia.
Our mission is to save the lives of abandoned, neglected, and unwanted dogs who are at high risk of euthanasia. We have been asked by MANY SHELTERS and multiple Humane Societies to save as many dogs as possible. In order for us to save lives, WE NEED FOSTER HOMES!
FOSTERING A DOG OPENED UP A SPOT IN THE SHELTER. BY FOSTERING ONE DOG, YOU ARE SAVING THE LIFE OF ANOTHER!

What does fostering entail?
Fostering a dog is FREE! All items purchased for your foster are TAX DEDUCTABLE. Save your receipts! We do offer donated supplies that we can give to your foster as well. Items must be picked up at transport, adoption events, or where the item is sourced.
Do you work full time and worried about not having time for your foster? You can work full time and still foster! These dogs would much rather be in a home waiting for you to come back than a scary, noisy shelter, and not interacting with anyone waiting for their time to run out.
We ask all of our fosters to care and provide for our dogs like their own. We rely on our fosters to keep us updated on all of our dogs. Please be able to provide updated photos and descriptions so we can help your dog get adopted!
While not required, these are some things that can help your foster find their furever home!
- Attend adoption events (Once a month)
- Meet adopters half way or partial way
- Bring foster to partnered vet if appointment is scheduled
Common Questions and FAQ:
How long would I have a foster for?
We ask our fosters to keep their dog until adoption. If you are going to be on vacation or cannot foster anymore, please let us know AS SOON AS POSSIBLE! We are volunteer run, which means we will need to make posts and reach out to other fosters if they can take your foster dog. By posting your foster online and participating in events, your dog can get adopted sooner!
What if I can't attend each event?
Prior to an event, we have a list of dogs that we wish to attend. If you cannot make the event and your have a "high priority" foster, we will do our best to get your foster dog there. If we cannot find a volunteer, then your foster will not make the event.
