All dogs need is a better home and better care, and all you need is unconditional love from them.
Fostering is one of the most powerful ways to save a dog’s life. Many of our rescues come from unsafe situations, the streets, or overcrowded shelters. By opening your home, you give a dog the stability, love, and safety they need to heal and prepare for adoption.
As a foster, you provide the basics:
A safe place to rest
Food, water, and routine
Patience, structure, and kindness
Transportation to vet appointments if needed
Updates and photos for our team so we can find them the right home
Pokie & Friends covers all medical care. You simply offer your time, space, and heart.
If you’re interested in fostering, reach out to us. Together, we can save more lives—one dog at a time.
Every dog is different. Some need a week, some need a month, and some need longer to find the right family. You can let us know what works for your lifestyle—we will never push a dog on you that you are not comfortable fostering.
Anyone with a safe, stable home environment and the willingness to care for a rescue dog. You don’t need special training. You just need patience, responsibility, and the desire to help a dog who has nowhere else to go.
Fosters teach dogs what love feels like. They help a scared dog become adoptable. They help a neglected dog trust again. They give the most vulnerable dogs a real chance at a future.
Your home could be the bridge between a difficult past and a beautiful forever home.
