Join our foster team!
Animals in our community need your support! If you are a resident in Monterey County and are able to foster a dog, it makes such a difference in their world to have a break from the shelter environment. Sign up to foster and help our shelter dogs find their forever home.

Benefits of fostering (even short term):
🐶 Provides shelter staff with new and valuable information that may help with matching a shelter dog to a new home!
🐾Provides new marketing materials (photos or cute videos) to help dogs find their new family.
🐶Reduces stress in the shelter animal and lowers their cortisol levels-- it's great for their mental health!

Lucy is all smiles since she is hopeful she will be adopted soon! 🙂

This 2year old terrier mix is the cutest wire-haired darling with a longer body and short legs. It leads us to believe there is dachshund involved. Her coat is very dense and wirey.

She is a sweet, mellow and mild -mannered girl that will likely blossom more in your home. Lucy is looking forward to enjoying the comforts of home. 😍
