Pacific Northwest foster team
Be the bridge from Texas to forever.
Every two weeks, animals cleared by medical and behavior teams travel north when they do not yet have a Texas foster. Approved PNW fosters give them a safe landing and create space for another urgent rescue.
Looking for a pet to foster?
Start with the weekly priority list.
Approved fosters can review the PNW Foster Facebook group and weekly foster newsletter, then work with a coordinator to find a match for their household. Needs change often.

Doggy Day Outs
One good day can make a dog easier to see, understand, and adopt.
Borrowing a foster dog for an outing gives the foster family a break and gives the dog new people, places, photos, socialization, and useful adoption insight.
