WHY Foster?

---

We help pugs and pug mixes throughout Florida and Georgia and we do not have a shelter facility; we operate solely through a network of volunteer foster families.  Since foster pugs stay with foster families until they find their forever homes, we rely on the support of these foster homes to help these pugs in need. 

We understand: Fostering is a big decision! It takes time, dedication, and a whole lot of love. Our rescued pugs have seen their share of change, and our amazing foster families help prepare them for one final, joyful change: joining a loving forever family. But don't worry, we're here to support you every step of the way; providing resources, guidance, and encouragement.

TYPES OF FOSTER HOMES NEEDED

General Foster: This is the backbone of our fostering program and the most needed type of foster. Placements usually range from 2 weeks to a few months; generally until the foster dog is adopted. 

Short-Term / Intake Foster: Even If you're only available for 1 day or 1 week, you can help by being a short-term or intake foster.  It's a great way to help save lives without making a long-term commitment!

Vacation/Temp Foster: When a foster family needs to travel, we need a place for the foster dog to go - this is where you would step in. 

Bonded Pair Foster: These fosters are dedicated homes for bonded pairs, which are 2 pugs that cannot be separated and must go to the same place. 

Forever Care Foster: Some pugs come to us with long-term special needs. They may stay in foster care for an extended time while we address their health and some remain with us for life to ensure they get the specialized care and love they deserve.

Quarantine Foster: All pugs that come to us from shelters—or those without prior vet care—must be kept separate from other pets for at least 2 weeks. If you have no pets or space to keep animals apart, you may qualify as a Quarantine Foster.
