March 25th - March 31st

Spring is here, and with it comes new opportunities to make a lifesaving impact. 🌼🐾 Whether you’re opening your home to a foster pet, helping them get seen at events, or supporting behind the scenes, every role plays a part in giving these animals the second chance they deserve. This week, we’re highlighting some amazing pets ready for their next step, sharing upcoming opportunities, and giving you a few tips and insights to support your foster journey.

As you may have seen on our social media, we’ve been highlighting dogs for upcoming adoption events—and many of these dogs are looking for fosters to help them shine before the big day.

🐾 Why foster before an event?

🐶 Better First Impressions
Dogs who spend even a few days in a home arrive at events more relaxed, confident, and ready to connect with adopters.

🐶 Real-Life Insights for Adopters
Fosters can share valuable details about:

• House manners

• Energy level

• Personality in a home setting

This helps adopters feel more confident—and leads to better matches.

🐶 Increased Adoption Chances
Dogs coming from foster consistently stand out more than those coming straight from the kennel environment.

Join us for National Adoption Weekend on March 28th & 29th!

We’ll have adoptable dogs out in the community ready to meet their future families—and we’re looking forward to a huge, lifesaving weekend.

🐾 Event Details:

• 📅 March 28th & 29th

• 📍 PetSmart Alliance & PetSmart Hulen

• 🐶 Dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities available

👉 Want to get involved?

Last week, we sent 24 dogs out of state to their forever homes! We truly appreciate everyone’s hard work and dedication to these pups—it makes all the difference. 🐾

With one trip complete, we’re already looking ahead to the next! We have several trips coming up with several new pups ready for their fosters!

Fostering isn’t just for shelters—even celebrities do it!

🐾 Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively have supported foster and rescue efforts, helping dogs get a second chance.

🐾 Jennifer Aniston is a huge advocate for adoption and has helped promote fostering through rescue organizations.

🐾 Kristen Bell has fostered dogs and is known for encouraging others to do the same.

💡 Fun fact: Many adopted dogs you see living their best lives started out in foster homes—just like yours.

Be the reason their story starts. 🐾✨

See you next week........
