Volunteering is a great way to help animals, make new friends, and get a bit of exercise! Volunteer orientation is held on the third Saturday of every month at 10 am.<\/p>\n<div class=\"xdj266r x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs x126k92a\">\n<div dir=\"auto\"><strong>SHORT TERM FOSTER HOMES<\/strong> &#8211; Short-term Foster Homes needed for Rescue Dogs\/Pups that already have a commitment for transport!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a\">\n<div dir=\"auto\">A short-term foster home for dogs is approximately 1 week placement. Although, fostering dogs for 3-4 days or even overnight is still considered being a short-term foster home! Dogs need a place to stay while waiting for transport and even those few days will give you an opportunity to enjoy the time you get to spend with them and know you are part of the course of saving their life. Short-term fostering is the best way to try fostering dogs to see if you like fostering.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a\">\n<div dir=\"auto\">Short-term fostering gives you the opportunity to quickly determine if you like fostering puppies or seniors, big dogs or little dogs, etc,.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">You have much more flexibility doing short-term fostering. It is much easier to take breaks from fostering if you short-term foster.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">You are a valuable resource to us by short-term fostering rescue dogs as it frees up a kennel space for another animal waiting to come in.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a\">\n<div dir=\"auto\">Please consider short term fostering.
