Fostering a Medical Case - Healing happens best at home.

When an animal is injured or recovering from a medical procedure, there is no substitute for the comfort of a home environment. Soft beds, cozy couches, quiet rooms, and loving companionship can make all the difference in an animal's recovery.

While our team provides excellent care at the shelter, kennels can be noisy, stressful, and unfamiliar. A foster home gives pets the chance to rest, relax, and heal in a place where they feel safe. Often, the simple comforts of home help animals recover faster, both physically and emotionally.

As a medical foster, you're not just providing a temporary place to stay—you're giving a vulnerable animal the comfort, peace, and care they need during one of the most important parts of their journey.

Sam, a 28lb handsome male dog, was hit by a car last week and is currently recovering from a spinal injury, jaw injury, and minor pelvis fracture.

His care will require the following:
-Physical therapy for back legs to help gain strength (about 5 minutes 3 times a day which we will teach).
-Oral medication.
-Rechecks with our amazing veterinarian every 2 weeks or so.
-Monitoring of urinary and f***l output.
-His blue nylon muzzle must stay on at all times outside of eating and drinking.
-Wet food for the next 6 weeks.

Do you have enough room in your heart and home to give this guy a chance?

Introducing the beautiful boy Tenny!
Tenny is in need of a foster that can provide a safe space for him as he recovers from a slight limp. Tenny just finished a round of antibiotics for an upper respiratory infection and is feeling great! Tenny would love a place with a yard to sniff and explore and get some activity to help him slowly recover.

Tenny is about 3 years old and weighs about 60lbs. He does have quite a bit of energy and loves fetch! He should avoid walking on rough ground like gravel and stay on concrete or grass. His paws are raw because he’s been stressed in the shelter environment.

Are you able to open your heart and home to this sweet guy?

Come meet Tenny any day between noon and 6pm at our main location! 1855 SE Inner Loop, Georgetown, TX 78626.

Cruella is a girl who just got discharged from the hospital as she is doing MUCH better!

Cruella is currently recovering from pneumonia and needs a soft place where she can get some peace and quiet to fully recover while she waits for her forever home.

Cruella has notes of being around children as young as 4 years old and doing well. She also knows the commands 'sit', 'lay down', and can sit patiently and wait for her food until you say, 'good girl' or 'go ahead'.

Do you have a soft, quiet corner for this sweet girl?

Anyone is welcome to come meet her any day between noon and 6pm at our main location.

Thank you for fostering with us!

Hi all! This will also be going up in our Band chat, but we are starting a new foster sitter program!
If you are going out of town for any reason and are in need of a foster sitter for some specific dates, we ask that you fill out the following form so that we can try to connect you with a potential foster sitter. This is to try and keep our foster dogs out of the shelter and in homes!

This form will be posted once a month for new and continuing fosters.

If you cannot remember your foster's animal ID number, no worries! You can still complete the form.

Foster Sitter Request Form:

As always, thank y'all so much for fostering! 💜💛🐾

We’re navigating an upper respiratory virus moving through our shelter right now, and we’re working hard to keep every dog as comfortable and healthy as possible.

One of the best ways we can slow the spread is by creating more space to isolate the sick pups—and that means we need help getting our healthy dogs into short-term foster homes.

A 1–2 week foster stay makes a huge difference. When dogs are crowded together, illness spreads quickly—just like in a kindergarten classroom. Right now, about 33 of our dogs are dealing with kennel cough, and they’d benefit enormously from having quieter space and less exposure to other pets.

By fostering a healthy dog, you’re directly helping our sick dogs rest and recover.
If you have:
• A spare room
• A calm environment
• A little time
• A loving heart
…you can help a dog feel better simply by giving them a place to breathe and relax.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this—and an even bigger thank you to our fosters who step up again and again. We couldn’t do this without you.

If you’re ready to help, please reach out—we’ll match you with a dog who fits your home and schedule.

🚨 Foster Needed ASAP for Elsa! 🚨

Miss Elsa is looking for a new foster home right away, and this lovable house hippo has so much to offer!

💜 Extremely people-friendly
💜 Loves both kids and adults
💜 Calm, low-key, and happy to lounge on the couch
💜 Great manners in the home
💜 Crate trained
💜 Excellent in the car
💜 Can be left loose in the house for up to 9 hours with no accidents or destruction
💜 Perfect companion for families, singles, or seniors

Elsa is the definition of a couch potato. She enjoys short walks, although she can be a little stubborn when she decides she'd rather go her own way! Most of the time, though, she's perfectly content relaxing by your side and soaking up affection.

⚠️ Elsa needs to be the only pet in the home, as she is not dog-friendly.

If you're looking for a calm, easygoing companion who asks for little more than a comfy spot on the couch and some love, Elsa may be your perfect match.

Please help us find this sweet, chonky girl a safe place to land. ❤️

FOSTER NEEDED FOR ALMA

Alma is struggling in the shelter environment, and we truly believe it is the shelter itself — not Alma. This sweet little 28 lb girl is experiencing kennel stress and spends much of her day spinning in her kennel trying to cope with the environment around her.

But everyone who knows Alma knows the real her: a loving, petite girl with a heart full of affection. She has never met a stranger, walks nicely on leash, and absolutely lights up when she gets attention from people. She is happiest simply being near her humans and soaking up love.

Alma desperately needs a calm place to decompress and feel safe again. We are hopeful that a foster home could help remind her that the world is not as overwhelming as the shelter feels right now.

If you have pets at home, we encourage you to come meet Alma in person and bring the whole family so we can set up a proper meet and greet.

Alma currently has an upper respiratory infection (URI), so dog meet and greets cannot be facilitated at this time. However, we have wonderful staff members available who can counsel you on Alma and everything that comes with her.

Please help us give Alma the break she so desperately needs. She is such a special girl and deserves the chance to relax, heal, and be loved.

If interested in fostering Alma, please email: [email protected] and [email protected].
