fostering saves lives

rescues are the lifeline for animals in shelters with low live release rates. these dedicated groups transfer the animals out of danger and try to find permanent homes for them. Most rescues in the DC Metro area are foster based, meaning they don’t have kennels that animals can stay in during the interim.

this means people who foster are quite literally the reason animals can be taken off of euthanasia lists and have a change at a future.

whether you foster for us, or for another group, we encourage you to at least give it a shot. you may love the feeling of making a difference in an animals life, just like Charlie, pictured on the left.
