Why Foster?

Without the work of rescues groups, more animals would miss out on being loved and cherished by a forever family. But without foster homes, rescue organizations like us wouldn’t exist. The reality is when shelters reach capacity, dogs are euthanized unless rescue organizations step in. Fostering saves lives. PERIOD. We are in continual need of fosters willing to take the step of opening their homes to animals in need, no matter the duration.

Why Foster For VPBR?

Are you a bully breed lover looking to join the rescue world? Vindicated places your needs and your foster dog’s needs as our first priority. Our goal is to equip our fosters with the tools that build successful foster experiences. We want our fosters to feel prepared and confident! Whether you need support in preparing your home, information on positive training techniques, or ways to work with dogs in need of additional help to thrive, we are there for you.

Are You Foster Material?

Being a foster is a rewarding experience; however, it requires time, dedication, compassion, and patience. We’re not just looking for any home to place an animal in need. We focus on placing our dogs in well-matched homes that we know will set them up for long-term success.

As a foster, you aren’t just looking after a dog. You’re also actively preparing them for their future forever home. As a foster, your home is the environment where they will be socialized, learn basic training and manners, decompress and heal, and (for some) experience love for the first time. If you aren’t able to commit to a dog for a lifetime, that’s okay! Fostering is a way to experience the joy of having a dog without making a lifelong commitment. If you think your home is “foster material,” we would love your help in saving a life.
