Welcome to JUNE, everyone!

🐾 June is National Foster a Pet Month! 🐾

There has never been a more important time to become a foster.

Every single day, rescues across North Carolina receive heartbreaking pleas from overcrowded shelters, good Samaritans who have found stray dogs, and families facing difficult circumstances who need help keeping their pets safe. The need is overwhelming—and growing.

As a foster-based rescue, our ability to save lives is directly tied to the number of foster homes we have available. Simply put: if we don`t have a foster home, we often can`t say yes to a dog in need.

Fostering isn`t always perfect. Your favorite rug might become a chew toy. You may lose a little sleep during puppy potty training. And when the perfect forever family comes along, saying goodbye can be bittersweet.

But you will never regret being the reason a dog got a second chance.

You provide the love and safe place to land. We provide the supplies, medical care, support, and guidance. Together, we save lives.

This month, we`re celebrating the incredible people who open their hearts and homes to dogs in need—and we`re inviting new fosters to join them.

❤️ One foster home can change everything for a dog.
