Urgent Need For Foster Homes!

Foster Homes Needed!

Foster homes are needed for these wonderful dogs. They are set to come to Illinois on November 9th…but only if we can find foster homes! Please take a moment to read about these pups to see if you would be able to foster one for a few weeks until they find their FUR-ever home. If you are interested or would like to learn more, please email SafeHavenDogs@Yahoo.com.

We pay for crate, food, toys, vetting...you provide love and a safe haven.

If you cannot foster, PLEASE SHARE this post to help us spread the word.

Fostering a dog may seem like a formidable task, but it’s a very easy way to make a very big difference. Foster families get to spend time with a dog that needs love, the shelter the dog was in gains space for a new dog. The foster dog gets a break from kennel life and a second chance at becoming a cherished pet. The FUR-ever home (adopters) get a dog that has been shown what it is like to be loved and cared for.

Charlie Chaplin is a little guy that wants a big lap to sit on. He would rather be an only child as he bonds and loves his human so much! However, he is in a home with 5 dogs so he can share if he has too. Charlie is HW+, we will bring him to Illinois but we need a foster home to commit to his care for 8 -10 weeks while we put him through the HW treatment. He is currently altered and up to date on all shots. We pay all expenses while you foster. He is available for our foster to adopt program. Email Kathy at safehavendogs@yahoo.com
