Dogs Needing a Foster Home
Click on each dogs's photo to read their information

The dogs listed on this page are all in need of a safe, loving foster home. They may currently be in a partnering shelter, still out as a stray, living in a home that can no longer keep them, or staying in a temporary foster placement while they wait for something more stable.

In many cases, we have limited background information on these dogs—but everything we do know is shared in their individual profiles. As we learn more, we’ll continue to update their information.

By stepping up to foster, you’re giving a dog the chance to decompress, learn what it means to live in a home, and take the first steps toward a brighter future.

If you’re new to Ruff Start, please submit a foster application to get started. If you’re already an approved foster, simply reach out by email or connect with your foster coordinator to let us know who you’re interested in helping.
