​FOSTER A LAB

Fostering is a fun way to get your dog fix when you are able.​​ It is also a vital part of our process and has a huge, positive impact on each dog's rescue journey.​ 

  • ​​We are in need of foster homes in Southern Maine immediately!​​

  • We also need foster homes in the rest of New England as well as AL, GA, NC, SC, TN and TX.

​

Our Foster Coordinator will contact you once your application has been processed.

​​REQUIREMENTS 

​
What are the requirements to be an NELR foster home?
 
​We need all kinds of foster homes! Our rescue dogs may be good with any combination of dogs, kids, and/or cats, but some may need the comfort and quiet of just an adult or two, so all families are welcome. Some dogs may only need a few short weeks to decompress and be ready to move ont o their forever families, and some dogs need a longer stay due medical needs or a longer decompression time to de-stress from their past. We take all these things into consideration before matching our fosters with a dog - just as we do with our adoptions. All of our dogs are friendly and so grateful to their human companions! 

There are many opportunities to foster one of our dogs right now! Message us on our social pages or fill out the foster application to get more information about how you can one of these deserving dogs as an important part of their rescue journey.
