🧠 FOF FACT FRIDAY 🧠

Did you know… We’re a foster-based rescue, which means we don’t have a physical shelter? Every single dog in our care lives in a foster home.

That’s what makes fostering so important.

It allows dogs to leave stressful environments and settle into a real home where they can decompress, learn routines, and start showing their true personalities. ❤️

It also means we can only save as many dogs as we have foster homes available for — every open home directly impacts how many lives we can help. 🐶

Fostering is the bridge between being lost… and finding a forever family. It begins with YOU! Send us a PM on Facebook or an email with any questions on starting the fostering process.

Meet Reba 🤍

Reba is a beautiful big girl around 10 months old and already 60+ lbs. We suspect she may have some Mastiff or Great Dane in her mix, but she likely won’t be huge. Whatever she is, she’s absolutely stunning. 🥺

Sadly, we don’t know her story. She was found wearing a harness with her name on it, but no one ever came looking for her. It’s hard to believe such a sweet girl was never claimed.

Reba loves everyone she meets — dogs, cats, goats, kids… she’s done great with them all! She’s still very much a puppy at heart and loves to romp, play, be talked to, and soak up all the affection she can get.

From her foster family:
“She loves to be petted and talked to. She’s still got a lot of puppy in her. We would keep her, but our Chihuahua disagrees. She needs a home with people who can give her the love, care, and activity she deserves.”

It's Kelce's 1st birthday. All she wishes for is her forever home. She has been in foster care for way too long.

Kelce was Born May 20th. We aren't sure of her breed mix, but I have sent off a DNA fest. She is 46lbs. She has the prettiest and unique dark brindle patches on her white coat. She is sweet and fun.
Sadly she has grown up in foster homes. She was a mischievous puppy and was struggling with not getting into trouble.
Now she has learned routine and manners. She has been a wonderful house guest with me once I was able to incorporate her into my home with my dogs.
At my house she gets to spend most of her time with another dog, outside in a big fenced yard, with the right weather. Then we all come inside at dark and wind down. At bed time she goes right to the crate and sleeps through the night.
She is house trained. She ask to go out by sitting by the door. If you don't see her, she will paw the door gently to make noise. I bet she would do great learning the bell system!
She loves water. Rain, mud puddles, dog pools, ponds, the shower.. water! She can swim like a fish.
She likes riding in the vehicle, but sometimes you do have to help her in.
She would not do well in an apartment or being crated all the time. She needs brain stimulation in order to be the best version of herself.
She loves other dogs. She was raised with cats, but has chased farm cats, so I'm not sure how she would be with new ones in home.
She is good with kids. She isn't a big fan of groups of people. She will just avoid. But she loves going to work with me and playing with everyone there in the shop.
She loves to snuggle when she is ready to lay down.
She loves toys!! A lot of toys is a must for her.

She is spayed and up to date on vet care.

She is being fostered near Waverly Mo

$100

🐾 WHY FOSTERING SAVES LIVES 🐾

Every time a dog enters foster care, a space at our rescue opens for another animal in need. One foster home truly can change everything. ❤️

Fostering gives dogs the chance to decompress, learn routines, feel safe, and finally show their real personalities outside of a stressful shelter environment. Some just need a quiet place to rest. Others need a little confidence, love, and patience before finding their forever family.

And the best part? You don’t have to commit forever to make a forever difference. 🐶

Many people don’t realize that most rescues provide food, vet care, supplies, and support — you simply provide the love and temporary home.

By fostering, you are:
✨ Saving lives
✨ Helping dogs become adoptable
✨ Freeing up shelter space
✨ Giving scared animals a second chance
✨ Becoming part of an incredible rescue community

Yes, saying goodbye can be hard… but knowing they found the loving home they deserved makes it all worth it. 🐾❤️

Interested in fostering? Send us a message — we’d love to help you get started.
