Fostering

Be a Temporary Hero for Dogs in Need

  • Fostering dogs in Southern CA, isn’t just an act of kindness; it’s a life-saving mission. At The Little Red Dog, Inc., we believe that every pup deserves a temporary home where they can feel safe and loved until they find their forever family. But let’s be real, this isn’t a walk in the park—it takes dedication, patience, and a sprinkle of doggie charisma. Think your family has what it takes?

The Joy of Fostering - Bringing Happiness to Your Home

While it’s true that dogs can offer endless love and companionship, fostering is a significant commitment. Joanna, one of our super fosters, has fostered over 200 pups. That’s right—two hundred! She’s more than a dog-napping heroine; she’s the reason many dogs now have loving homes. If you’re wondering how you can make such a fantastic impact, remember: fostering change lives, one wagging tail at a time!

Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at info@thelittlereddog.org if you cannot find an answer to your question.

Do you have to live in Orange County to foster?
No, you do not. However, our vets, adoption events, and meet and greets are in Orange County. As long as you're willing to make the drive when needed, you can foster for us. If that sounds like too much, we suggest checking rescues/shelters who are closer to you to see if they need fosters.
