ABOUT
Dallas DogRRR’s Foster Program is essential to our mission of saving homeless pets by placing them in temporary, loving homes where they can truly thrive. By fostering, you offer pets a warm, caring environment to heal, grow, and prepare for adoption. Foster parents provide food, water, toys, and, most importantly, love and support. Pets need foster homes for various reasons:
• Young age: Some pets, especially puppies, aren’t ready for adoption until their immune systems mature, typically around 10 weeks old. Foster homes provide a safe space during these early weeks.
• Medical recovery: Many pets come to us in need of special care, from routine procedures like spay or neuter surgeries to more complex treatments for conditions like orthopedic issues or parvo. Foster homes are ideal for helping these pets recover in a comforting setting.
• Behavioral and socialization needs: Some pets may need time in a home environment to become comfortable with people and other animals, allowing them to adjust and grow into a great fit for an adoptive family. Foster parents provide essential enrichment, training, and the behavioral guidance these animals need to flourish.
By fostering, you become a crucial part of a pet’s journey from rescue to forever home. Join us in offering them a second chance to find love and stability.

DISCLAIMERS
At Dallas DogRRR, all of our animals go through a thorough medical and behavioral evaluation process. While it’s not necessarily rigorous, each dog is carefully monitored and supported through our foster system, where they receive medical care and are observed in a home environment. Our fosters are trained to help support the behavioral needs of the animals, regularly updating us on their progress and any concerns. This allows us to disclose all known behaviors to potential adopters. However, as with any animal, new behaviors may emerge as they become more comfortable in their new home. For our boarding dogs, many have experienced a home environment at some point and receive regular socialization and training, including the Canine Good Citizen program and work with volunteers. Some dogs also undergo more intensive training based on their individual needs. We provide full transparency to adopters about each pet’s medical and behavioral history, but please understand that every dog’s behavior can evolve as they adjust to a new environment. However, we do not guarantee breed or age, as these details are based on the information available at the time of rescue.
