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.

RINA
Stats: 7 years old, female
Location: TX
Intake: 11/01/22
Adoption Fee: TBD
Meet Rina! She's a 7 year old sweetheart! Unfortunately, she lived her life as an outside dog without property vetting. When she was finally taken to the vet for an illness, she had bloodwork done that showed she had Heartworms (not the cause of that illness however). Her owner said the treatment was too expensive and opted to surrender her to the vet clinic or have her put down. Fortunately, the vet clinic recognized what a sweetheart of a dog she is and took her in to find proper help and placement. They reached out to us and we finally had a foster home come available so that we could accept her into our rescue. We're so grateful to the vet clinic who went ahead and got her caught up on vaccinations, spayed her and gave her a badly needed dental! We took her in this week thinking we would schedule her Heartworm treatment and to our surprise, they were able to go ahead and start the treatment right away (again thanks for the vet clinic for doing the pre-treatment phase). So she's on her post-treatment restrictions now and learning how to be a house dog. She definitely has the couch/bed snuggling part down pat already!
Keep an eye out on more updates on Rina as we get to know her better and she completes her Heartworm treatment.
Welcome to LSAR Rina!
