Support Fosters & Paws!

Why give?

  • Make a Lifelong Impact

    Your donation helps us save dogs from high-kill shelters and gives them a second chance at life. Every dollar you contribute goes directly toward medical care, vaccinations, and finding them loving homes. Together, we can make a lasting difference!

  • Help Us Save More Lives

    By donating, you’re helping us continue our mission of rescuing dogs in need. From pregnant moms to puppies in danger, your support ensures that we can reach more dogs and provide them the care and shelter they need to thrive.

  • Give Hope to the Forgotten

    Every year, thousands of dogs are abandoned and left with no one to care for them. Your donation helps us rescue these dogs, providing them with food, shelter, and medical care as we work to find them their forever homes.

  • Support Our Fosters and Volunteers

    Fosters and volunteers are at the heart of what we do, but they need support. Your gift provides essential supplies, training, and resources to ensure they can continue caring for the dogs in their homes, preparing them for adoption.

  • REDUCE Overcrowding in Shelters

    Animals are routinely euthanized for no other reason than lack of space in shelters. With your support, we are able to move some of these animals into our program where they receive medical care, love, attention and anything else they need to find their forever homes.

  • Empower Change in Our Community

    Your donation helps create a ripple effect of kindness and compassion in our community. By supporting Fosters & Paws, you’re not just saving a dog; you're helping raise awareness about the importance of rescue and adoption, encouraging others to join the cause.

dogs needing urgent care

As animal lovers, we try to do our best to provide comfort and care to dogs that are injured, in pain, or ill. Many of the dogs that come into the rescue require emergency care in order to save their lives. Sadly, a decision to save a dog's life often comes down to our ability to pay for his or her veterinary care and continued healthcare needs. Sometimes, having a foster home or a hospice home ready and willing to accept a special needs dog can make all the difference in the world. If you believe in our work and want to help us make a difference for dogs with urgent needs, please pledge a gift of support for any of our injured or ailing dogs, or submit an application to become a Foster Family for one of our Urgent Needs dogs. You will feel so gratified knowing that you can personally bring about a miracle.

puppy hernia

meet the parvo puppies

On 4/15 Fosters & Paws was tagged in a post, a desperate plea to step in and help 9 dogs and puppies who were left on the roadside stuffed into crates in absolutely horrific condition. Of course we couldn’t stand by and do nothing so we took who we could and had them transported directly to Gold Country Veterinary Hospital for emergent care. They were found to be suffering from multiple conditions including hypoglycemia, giardia, coccidia, covered in demodectic mange and positive for the dreaded PARVOVIRUS. These precious souls have been absolutely deprived of even the most basic care. The will need extensive medical treatments including IV fluids and medications. Please consider DONATING or purchasing items in our SHOP today so we can continue to help those in need. No animal deserves to suffer like these little ones have. 

Meet oscar

Oscar and his siblings were all born with hernias needing surgical repair. When the breeder learned they would need to spend money instead of making a pure profit off of the puppies, they were dumped at a shelter. Rescues including Fosters & Paws stepped up to take in the puppies and provide the medical care they desperately needed. In addition to Oscars hernia, it was also found that he suffers from a significant heart murmur which will need special medical treatment and surgery to repair. Veterinary bills are the greatest expense we face as a rescue but we don’t let it stop us from helping dogs and puppies like Oscar. Please consider donating or purchasing items in our Shop to contribute to Oscar’s medical fund today.

meet our bottle babies

  • EIGHT TINY PUPPIES

    These days old puppies were left at the shelter with their momma who didn’t want to care for or feed them. When this happens, the puppies must be separated from mom for safety reasons. They need full-time human intervention to live including regular bottle feedings. This requires bottles, special nipples, formula, heating pads, puppy pads and heartbeat stuffies. Consider donating or purchasing off our Amazon wish list to help today.
