Hi friends,

We’re so grateful for your continued support and love for the animals—it truly takes a village, and we’re lucky to have such a caring community!

We wanted to take a moment to share some important info on how to best help if you find a stray dog:

🔹 First stop: your local shelter.
They are the first place owners will look for their missing pets. Getting the dog scanned for a microchip and logged into the system gives them the best chance of being reunited.

🔹 Post to local lost & found groups and Pawboost to spread the word.
Be sure to beware of scammers—always confirm ownership through photos or vet records.

While we wish we could help every dog, our focus right now is on saving dogs already in the shelter—they are the ones most at risk and in urgent need. We have to prioritize them first.

🚨 We need foster homes!
If you’re interested in fostering, please fill out an application and send in your home check photos. You can apply here: www.fostersandpaws.org/foster

🎁 Have donations?
Check our events page to see where we’ll be—we’d love to accept donations in person there! This is the easiest and most effective way to get supplies where they’re needed.

Lastly, don’t forget to follow us and stay connected: 📱 Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok — just search Fosters & Paws

Thank you for continuing to be part of our mission. Every share, donation, and kind word helps us save lives!

With gratitude,
The Fosters & Paws Team
