How to Foster a Rescue Dog
Have you ever wanted to do something that really made a difference? Giving a homeless dog a temporary home changes the life of that dog forever. Many times these animals are one step away from being euthanized! The stories of their lives can be heart wrenching, but you can help to give them a happy ending.
In order for us to save lives and find homes, we need your help. The only way that we can continue to save these wonderful animals is with great volunteers who are willing to open up their hearts and their homes and give them a temporary place of safety, security, love, and training until they can be transported to forever homes. Once at the forever homes, they will be wanted and loved for the rest of their lives and never have to worry again about the possibility of starving on the streets, living with a cruel and abusive owner, or being brought to a “shelter” only to face euthanasia well before their time.
If a foster dog needs further veterinary care, you may be asked to bring him directly or arrange for a pick up, but you will not be responsible for the expenses. Your commitment will be to give the dog the best temporary home that you can. Almost Home Rescue will provide food, toys, preventative medications and anything the foster dog will need - you just provide a safe home and some love for them temporarily until an adoptive home is found!
Some dogs need to be house-trained, some dogs need medication, and other dogs need to be crate trained. Every dog has different needs. Are you still interested? If so, please complete the foster application to express your interest. Someone from AHR will contact you to give you more information.

A SPECIAL foster opportunity to make a BIG difference - Luna needs a foster home!
Almost Home Rescue is also looking for a “special” foster home (or adopter) to help with Luna. Luna is a six year-old German Shepherd Dog mix who has IBD (Inflammatory Bowel Disease.) Luna has been cared for by a local specialist and her IBD is under control and in remission. She has a special diet that is provided by Almost Home Rescue. Luna really just needs to live in a home again so that she can transition to an adoptive home. She is currently in boarding, and she loves it, and everyone there loves her, but it is not a home. Luna loves other dogs, but would probably do best as an only dog in the home. Cats are a maybe (depends on the cat) and small children may make her nervous. Foster homes with shepherd experience would be preferred, but not required. Luna really just needs someone to give her a chance and increase her adoption potential! Please fill out a foster application if this sounds like the job for you!
