🐾 Foster Needed for Kira! 🐾

Kira is looking for a foster home where she can relax, soak up the sunshine, and enjoy being someone’s loyal companion. ☀️❤️

This sweet senior girl is around 10 years old and is the definition of a couch potato. She loves her toys, enjoys spending time outside, and is perfectly content with a couple of play sessions followed by a nice long nap.

Kira would do best as the only pet in the home and would prefer children over the age of 5. She’s sponsored and has so much love to give—she just needs a temporary place to call home.

Can you help Kira by fostering? Fostering gives dogs a break from shelter life and helps us learn more about them while they wait for their forever family.

If you’re interested in fostering Kira, please contact us or stop by to learn more!

🐾 Foster Needed for Opal! 🐾

Meet Opal! This sweet girl is looking for a foster home while she waits for her forever family. We estimate she’s around 5–6 years old, though we’re not entirely sure. She’s a medium-sized dog with a gentle personality and seems to do well with everyone she meets. Great with kids, dogs, cats.

Opal will officially be available to go home on June 23, but we’d love to have her in a foster home (or foster-to-adopt).

If you’ve been thinking about fostering, this could be the perfect opportunity. Fostering saves lives and helps dogs like Opal adjust to home life while they wait for adoption.
