Fosters are what make our organization go, go, go! The more fosters we have, the more pups we can welcome into safe, loving environments before they are ready to be adopted into permanent, forever homes.
The LSAR Foster Program is simple: We supply the pet, just add food, shelter and love! We will take care of all approved veterinary costs (including medications) for your LSAR foster pet. We just ask you treat them like one of your own; give them food/water, a soft, safe place to lay their head, and lots of love.
You do not have to be a dog whisperer to apply! No degree or special training is required. But make no mistake, fosters are indeed very special people! Fosters must be loving, patient, giving and dedicated. If this sounds like you, we'd be delighted to have you on our team!
Please note: A complete (and approved) application, as well as a home visit are required to join the LSAR Foster Program. We are currently "recruiting" fosters within our service area only. Please apply to foster if you currently reside within Texas or Oklahoma.

BOURBON
Stats: 2 years old, male
Location: Dallas, TX
Intake: 07/2025
Adoption Fee: $275
Social: #Bourbon517
Meet Bourbon! This 2 year old, medium energy cutie is the perfect combination of laid-back and playful. He currently weighs 48 pounds.
Bourbon loves anyone and everyone, especially his people. He has never met a stranger and wants to be in your lap. He is working on not jumping up during greetings. While he is a little shy in public and in crowds, he prefers to stay very close to his human. When around other dogs, he generally ignores them — this boy is all about his people.
If you’re looking for that typical velcro Aussie who is always ready to give you some love, Bourbon is your guy. Whether he’s resting by your feet as you’re cooking or snuggling up with his head on your chest when taking a nap, he has shown to be the most loyal companion. At night, he will happily join you in the bed for snuggles and migrates to the foot of the bed to fall asleep.
Bourbon loves to go running around the backyard chasing squirrels up and down the fence and plays a good game of keep away with his “baby” (toys). He will do best in a structured home where a consistent routine is present. He enjoys going for his daily walks and along for a car ride! When he sees you grab his leash, he gets very excited and is currently working on sitting calmly to gear up to leave the house. Bourbon walks decently on lead but will need a bit more practice learning to not walk under his human’s feet. He gets a little timid when passing other barking dogs, but looks to his person for reassurance. He is eager to learn and please his person.
Bourbon lived with kids in his previous home, but has not been tested with them since being in foster care. He also has not been tested with cats.
Bourbon is house trained, up to date on vaccinations, microchipped, neutered, and on monthly Heartworm and flea prevention. Bourbon is being fostered in Dallas, TX and will require the adopter to travel to meet him within seven days of being approved for adoption. His adoption fee is $275, and you can complete an adoption application. If you already have an application on file with us, you can contact us saying you are interested in Bourbon.
Please note: All our dogs are adopted as inside pets and family members only and all current or past pets in the home must have proof of being kept up to date on vaccinations and Heartworm prevention - NO EXCEPTIONS!
