Temporary 'til Transport

RTLR focuses on temporary fostering (1-3 months depending on the dog's condition), with the goal of adopting and then transporting ​dogs out of state. 

Fostering is a very rewarding experience.  As a foster angel YOU make the BIGGEST DIFFERENCE in the dogs life.  You are the first time they get to experience a loving, warm, safe home, with soothing voices and gentle hands.  It is you that will bring that dog out of its shell and give it the time it needs to decompress and realize people can be loving and caring.  You are the one that slowly gets closer to a dog that may never have experienced kindness from anyone before.  You are the one that introduces the dog to softness, both physically with their bed/couch/towels and also mentally when you use softness in your voice.  You are the one that reignites the hope and desire to live when all the dog wants to do is lay down and give up.  Without foster angels, we could not do what we do, thousands more dogs would walk their final walk in a shelter, and the world would be a much sadder place.  We need YOU to foster.
