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.

GINGER
Stats: 6 years old, female
Location: TX
Intake: July 2026
Adoption Fee: TBD
Social: #Ginger565
Welcome to Foster Pup Ginger! Ginger is estimated to be around 6 years old (though we suspect she may be a little older) and is one of the seven pups who joined LSAR as part of the NOLA 7 rescue from Louisiana.
Is it any surprise that we gravitated towards the oldest and heaviest dog of the whole group?!! She is absolutely the grand dame of the bunch and it's easy to see where all those red-based Aussies likely originated from! This spunky girl has wasted no time making herself at home! She quickly warms to people, as observed in the shelter and by the transport volunteers. At their spa day stopover the first night, she effortlessly slipped into the role of neighborhood supervisor, always wanting to know what everyone was up to, and she absolutely loved her first bath.
After dealing with irritated skin and urine stained mats for so long, no doubt it felt pretty amazing. Ginger is kicking off her own version of a Hot Girl Summer with a healthy weight loss journey. Her intake weight at the shelter was a whopping 91 pounds! She's already down to 86 pounds currently, and she’s ready to start feeling her best! She’ll also be visiting the vet to evaluate a few medical concerns, including a mature cataract in one eye, stenotic ears from years of chronic (likely untreated) ear infections, and flea-related dermatitis. We have a feeling Ginger is going to keep everyone on their toes, and we can’t wait to get to know this sweet older girl even better! Welcome to LSAR, Ginger!
