What motivates our AMAZING foster parents and volunteers to make a difference?
We asked a few of them, and this is what they said:
“When our family dog passed, our home felt so empty without our furry companion. Fostering let’s us give these sad pups the love and care they deserve while filling our home with these silly, sweet souls. Joy!” – Steve & Lisa
“I like to help those that cannot help themselves. I like standing up for the “underdog”. All animals deserve our respect and protection.” – Carey
“I foster to give love to those who need love most. To show them that they are deserving of happiness. And it fills my heart to know they feel safe and loved, no matter how much time they might have when they come into our care. They are the utmost deserving souls who should have nothing less than a life of love and safety.” – Angela
“It’s such an amazing job to love an animal that needs you, to know you are loving them for their future person or family and then being a part of finding that special place for them to land forever.” – George & Jenny
“I want to help rescue dogs from tough situations and provide them with a space to decompress, gain confidence, and experience kindness and love. I’ve also really enjoyed seeing our dog (Sass) teach the foster dogs how to live in a house, get used to routines, and provide them with socialization.” – Kyle & Alana
“When I started over 50 years ago, bringing home stray & sick animals, my thought was always: I want to make this poor Babies life better going forward and do whatever it takes to do that! I still feel the same way today. They need TLC…I can do that!!” – Julie
“I am a rescuer because I want to be a safe haven. I want to heal the broken, love the unloved and teach both dogs and people that we can make a difference.” – Colleen
“The dogs rescue me just as much as I rescue them” – Dione
“I am the bridge between what was and what can be.” – Uyen
