๐๐จ HUGE SOS FOR FOSTERS ๐จ๐
We are in desperate need of foster homes right now. Our foster numbers are wayyyy down, and normally summer brings a huge increase in fosters stepping up. This year, that surge just doesnโt seem to be coming โ and itโs putting enormous strain on our shelter.
At the same time, adoptions are also down. We currently have a massive list of dogs waiting on the reservation for us to save themโฆ but none of that can happen without foster homes opening up. Every foster home directly saves a life and allows another dog to come to safety.
At this point, we are urgently looking for people willing to take actual fosters specifically puppies, teen and adult dogsโ not just provide temporary coverage. Coverage is still incredibly appreciated and helpful, but it does not solve the immediate crisis we are facing right now. We need dogs leaving the shelter and going into foster homes.
Youโre probably wondering why we donโt just stop intake. The reality is, we could. But the result of that would be catastrophic for the๏ฟผ countless innocent souls being left behind โ puppies born into starvation and neglect, dogs suffering with injuries or illness, and animals who never chose the circumstances they were born into.
Itโs estimated that there are over 550,000 stray dogs at any given time across the Four Corners reservation areas. Seriously, think about that number. The need is absolutely overwhelming, and itโs why intake cannot simply stop. These dogs still exist whether rescues have room or not. They still need help, food, medical care, and a chance at life.
We need help now more than ever. Please, if you have ever considered fostering, NOW is the time. Open your home and your heart. Even one foster home can completely change โ and save โ a life.
