"Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole"

"Dogs leave paw prints on our hearts"

"The world would be a nicer place if everyone had the ability to love as unconditionally as a dog"

"I started fostering after I adopted from the rescue and realized how much I appreciated his foster for caring for him until he came to me. I continue fostering because I know it saves lives, and I get to care for the new best friends that haven’t met their person yet. There is no greater joy than seeing a pet blossom, that was broken and sad when they arrived. And the ‘love at first sight’ on their new persons face….they say money can’t buy happiness, but it does pay an adoption fee."

"Fostering helped me get over the death of my dad. I have foster failed 6 times, and will probably fail again."

"Fostering led me to my best friend…. I was prepared to care for and prepare a rescue for her future owner but I fell in love!"

"Heartbreaking for those that just are too tired to continue on and need reassuring arms, a hug and a soft kiss to help them on their final journey." "Happy to have been a part of the happy ending when you get those pictures, stories and smiles from their furever adoptive parents knowing we made a difference!" “Saving one dog will not change the world, but surely for that one dog, the world will change forever.”

I wanted to give a dog an opportunity to live in a loving home until it found its forever home. I did this to honor my dog who passed in January of 2023.
