Foster. Volunteer. Make a Difference.

You Don't Have to Adopt a Dog to Save One.

Every dog we rescue needs somewhere safe to land.

That's where our foster families come in.

Pound Dog Found Dog relies on foster homes throughout New Jersey to give rescued dogs a safe, loving place to stay while we learn about their personalities, needs and ideal forever home.

Fostering can mean welcoming a dog for a short time—or for as long as it takes to find the right family. You provide the love, patience and safe environment. 

We provide the support and resources to help you along the way.

Why Foster a Rescue Dog?

A foster home gives a dog something a shelter environment can't always provide: the chance to simply be a dog.

In a foster home, we can learn:

  • How a dog behaves in a home environment

  • Their personality and energy level

  • How they interact with people

  • How they do with other dogs or pets

  • What type of family and environment may be the best fit

  • What helps them feel safe, comfortable and confident

That information is incredibly valuable when it comes time to find their forever family.

Volunteer With Pound Dog Found Dog

Not able to foster? There are still plenty of ways to help.

Our rescue depends on volunteers who are willing to give their time, skills and energy to help dogs find better lives.

Volunteer opportunities may include helping with transportation, networking, grooming or training, and getting the word out about dogs looking for homes.

Whether you have an hour, a weekend or a special skill to share, your help can make a difference.

Your Home Could be Their Safe Landing.

You don't need to be a professional dog trainer or have years of rescue experience to foster.

You simply need to be willing to open your home and your heart to a dog who needs a chance.

We are here to support you.
