Rescue Needs Temporary Fosters in Order to Save More Lives

Temporary fosters are urgently needed for dogs and cats at Lost Dog and Cat Rescue Foundation’s kennels in order to make space for newly rescued pets. The rescue’s shelter partners are completely full and Lost Dog is being asked to transfer in more pets in order to save their lives.

“Several of our longtime shelter partners are really struggling this summer to keep saving lives,” says Barbara Hutcherson, Executive Director of Lost Dog and Cat Rescue Foundation. “When they become overcrowded, they have to make hard choices. Our help in taking dogs and cats relieves some of that pressure, and allows them to keep saving lives.”

Fosters are needed for pets of all sizes. Dogs can be fostered for as little as one week. To apply to foster, visit https://lostdogrescue.org/foster/what-its-all-about/

“Foster homes are absolutely critical to our mission. If we know we have foster families at the ready, we can save more lives. It’s really that simple,” Hutcherson says.
