Foster a Dog

Being a foster means opening your home and your heart to a dog in need. You give them love, safety, and a chance to heal while they wait for their forever family. No special experience required. Just kindness and patience. Fostering is open to everyone, including STFX students looking to make a difference in a dog's life and their own. Even a short stay can mean everything to the right dog.

Our rescue relies on people like you.
