We show people how to fit fostering into their lifestyle.
June 2022 100+ dogs were set to be euthanized in one week at the Riverside dog shelter due to overcrowding. We knew we had to do something to help. With excitement in our hearts we drove up and fostered Chance, a goofy 90lb boxer. For the next 2 years, we have continuously fostered and rehomed high euthanasia risk dogs who deserve a chance at life.
The overall issue of shelter overcrowding is a life & death challenge for rescue dogs, rescue groups, and shelter facilities. In working with rescues, they all faced the same constraint of not having enough fosters and faced great difficulty in finding the right foster home for their dogs. In talking with people, they didn’t know where to start with fostering and were intimidated by the process.
To save lives and help dog rescues, we made Fido Foster, the first-ever platform to match you with the right foster dog for your home. This way you can be connected to a foster dog that fits your lifestyle, aid the rescues by providing more foster homes, and saving dogs' lives from euthanasia due to shelter overcrowding.
Our goal is to show people that fostering a dog is possible for your current lifestyle whatever that may be. You do not need to wait for the "perfect arrangement" or "perfect time" to save a life, you can do it now.
