Help Us, Help Them!
Foster Today
A&P Rescue is a solely foster home based rescue and without foster homes, we would not be able to save dogs! YOU are the one making the true difference by not only saving a dog from the shelter, but also making room for another one to be saved off of the streets.
Still on the fence about fostering?
Fostering is a temporary commitment with permanent rewards.
Our average foster home length of stay is 3 weeks but can range on an individual basis. A few weeks of your time can change the life of a dog forever.
Not ready to adopt?
Fostering is a great alternative to adopting a dog if you may not be ready for a 12+ year commitment.
You can determine what the perfect furever home will be.
Fosters get to know our dogs on a very close level and will know what type of home they will be the most successful in. They also get to share the dogs likes and dislikes with their forever family.
You will help the dog's personality shine!
Some dogs can handle a shelter environment better than others. Many get overly excited or too anxious to let their true personality shine when they're in a kennel. In a foster home, dogs can relax, so that potential adopters can get a good sense of how they'd be in a home.
Fostering is fun!
It's so exciting to see a dog blossom in your home and you get to be a part of all of their little victories. Help a shy dog come out of their shell, watch an abused dog begin to trust again, laugh as a dog attempts to play with their first toy, enjoy seeing a puppy gain its own personality, and the list goes on forever!
You're saving more than one life.
Every time a shelter dog is able to leave the shelter for a foster home, space is created for another deserving homeless pet who needs a second chance.
We are so glad you are here!
