Foster Homes

Our biggest need is loving temporary foster homes for dogs that just need a bit of TLC until their forever home can be found. If you would like to help in this capacity please complete our Foster Home Questionnaire.

In order to make this rescue successful, we need many foster homes and parents to provide a safe, loving home for our dogs until a permanent, adoptive home has been found.

Each new foster home enables us to save the life of another dog in need. The satisfaction you will gain, knowing you have saved a life is indescribable. D2C will be responsible for all the vet costs and none of our foster parents will ever have to worry about paying for any of that.

The foster parents need to be aware of the commitment a fostering means, most of the dogs we rescue will have been strays. They were abandoned, maybe never had a home, some of them may have been abused. We don't like for dogs to go from foster home to foster home, because foster parents have not truly thought about the level of commitment they are willing to accept. So, if you want to be a foster home for Dog s 2nd Chance, PLEASE discuss this with all the members of your family and please be sure that you are in it "for the long haul"! Having said that, most dogs get adopted out within a few short weeks to months, but sometimes the right home takes a little longer and we need to know that the dogs are welcome to stay with our foster homes for as long as it takes.

Fill out the foster application here.
