Want to help another way? Fill out the form below to let us know how you’d like to support us, or visit our volunteering or fostering pages to learn more about those methods of supporting FCR!
Please work with your foster dog as you would any new pet in the home. Basic commands, such as sit, down, stay; house, leash and crate training; socialization with people and other pets. Crate-training is highly encouraged, and FCR will provide one if needed.
Enthusiasm is contagious! Your excitement about finding forever homes for all of our dogs will help get them to their forever faster. Please share all FCR Facebooks posts and talk about FCR to your family, friends, neighbors and coworkers.
If you are able to provide nutritious food for your foster dog, that is helpful to us. If you are unable, FCR will provide food. Please request this from the FCR Foster Coordinator.
We constantly update our social media sites. If you could send us updated pictures of your foster dog, that keeps our marketing “fresh.” One or two new pictures every two weeks is sufficient.
Once you get to know your foster, please send us biographical information. As you notice additional changes in behaviors/habits, send us that information, too.
At Foothills Canine Rescue, we work to save the lives of as many dogs as possible. Each year, because of supporters like you, we are able to positively impact hundreds of dogs. We never euthanize a dog due to space or length of stay. We use euthanasia as a compassionate, end-of-life decision when a dog is suffering from a severe medical or behavioral condition and with the recommendation of our attending veterinarian. At FCR, we make decisions based on what is best for the dogs in our care, and for the safety of our community. To us, No-Kill means that we do our absolute best to ensure a live outcome.
