Check out what dogs you can welcome into your home!

The dogs below are either at the rescue and ready for foster placement or are on our waitlist and can only enter our care once a foster home is secured. If you are a trained ATR foster, please reach out to the foster team via text or email if you are available to help! Foster placement will be on a first-come, first-served basis.


NEW UPDATE!! PLEASE READ:
Under each dog you will now see a quick survey to help cut down on the back-and-forth emails when we’re matching foster dogs with homes. It asks a few questions about your living situation and preferences so we can make the best possible match for you and the puppy or adult dog.

All questions are required, but you can always choose No or N/A if something doesn’t apply.

DOGS ON-SITE READY FOR A FOSTER HOME:

Cinnamon Needs Foster!!


Cinnamon is a beautiful 1-year-old girl who truly deserves a chance to decompress and enjoy life outside the shelter. She’s full of personality, love, and a whole lot of energy, she just needs the right environment to help her shine.

Cinnamon is a fun, spirited pup who thrives with structure and guidance. Like many young dogs, she’s still learning how to regulate her excitement and frustration, which can show up as mouthiness and jumpy behavior. Because of this, a Mouthiness Waiver and Dog Reactivity Waiver will be required.

What to know about Cinnamon:
  • High-energy, playful girl
  • Struggles with over-arousal → can be mouthy
  • Dog reactive (no other dogs in the home)
  • No kids
  • Jumpy, but eager to learn with the right guidance
  • What she really needs is a patient, committed foster who can give her space, consistency, and a little grace while she works through her big feelings. Even 1–2 weeks out of the shelter would make a huge difference for her. Longer would be even better!
Foster Needed for Stoick

Our handsome Stoick, from our How to Train Your Dragon litter, is in need of a foster home .
Stoick is 1 year old and has become increasingly fearful over time. His family has worked hard to help him, including trying behavioral medication (fluoxetine), but unfortunately his anxiety has continued to worsen. They have also recently discovered they have heart-related health concerns of their own and are no longer able to provide the exercise, training, and support Stoick needs.
Because of his fearfulness, Stoick will sometimes urinate when he is scared. He needs a patient, understanding foster who can help him build confidence and learn that the world isn't such a scary place.
If you have a calm home, a kind heart, and are willing to help a dog who just needs a little extra patience and love, Stoick would greatly benefit from your care. 


Mahi Mahi Is Looking for a Foster Home
Mahi Mahi is the mama to our Fishies litter, and she has already had the opportunity to experience life in a foster home. While she was there, she learned something incredibly important: how to be a dog.
Now we're looking for another foster home to continue helping her gain confidence and discover just how good life can be.
Mahi Mahi is a shy and fearful girl who will need a patient foster who understands that trust takes time. She can be an alert barker when she is unsure or uncomfortable and tends to be warier of men. Her foster will need to give her space, allow her to approach at her own pace, and help her learn that the world isn't so scary.
What Mahi Mahi Needs
  • Shy/Fearful Dogs handout will be sent home
  • Treat & Retreat handout will be sent home
  • Reactivity Waiver required
  • Barrier reactive, dog-directed
  • Human-directed reactivity when nervous
  • Other triggers include cats, bicycles, and scooters
  • Dog(s) recommended! Mahi Mahi is playful and can coexist well with other dogs. Having a confident dog around may help her continue to come out of her shell.
  • Housetraining an Adult Dog handout required
  • She is currently potty trained on grass/turf textures.
  • Resident dog introduction required: If you have a resident dog, Mahi Mahi will need to complete a dog-to-dog introduction before going home.
  • Everyone in the household must attend the foster appointment so Mahi Mahi can meet all members of her potential foster family.

Mahi Mahi doesn't need a foster who expects her to become a social butterfly overnight. She needs someone who can celebrate the small wins, the first time she chooses to come closer, the first time she relaxes beside you, and the moments when she realizes she is safe.

UPCOMING LITTERS (or mamas)! They will be available soon!

6 pittie mixes looing for a foster home!


We have SIX adorable, chunky 7-week-old puppies who are looking for foster homes! We’re guessing these little nuggets are American Bully mixes, and they are absolutely precious.


These puppies are the result of an accidental litter, and their owner is looking for places for them to go. Before they are simply given away, we want to step in and make sure they receive the proper veterinary care, vaccines, spay/neuter, and everything else they need to get started on the right paw.


We Need Foster Homes!


We would ideally like these puppies to go into:

 Pairs of 2

 Groups of 3



We do NOT have a confirmed intake date yet, but we want to get foster homes lined up now so that when their intake is scheduled, we are ready to bring them in.



If you can foster two or three of these chunky babies, please reach out to the foster team! Let’s get these puppies safely into rescue before they are passed from home to home


Ready to Commit?!
