We’re in urgent need of dog fosters, even short-term, like a weekend sleepover, or one to two weeks! We have so many sweet dogs waiting for a safe place to land, and just a short stay can save a life.

​🐕 Dogs Needing Fosters Right Now:

• Frosty – Frosty is a potty-trained good boy with an adopter waiting in California! This is our first time coordinating an out-of-state adoption, and we just need a foster to keep him safe until he travels (coming up soon!).
• Eugene – A total dreamboat! He's done amazing in past foster homes and has been overlooked at the center for too long. He deserves a break (and a yard to run around in!).
• Ruby – We expect to pull this sweet mama soon from her 8 pups, who already have lots of adoption interest. Ruby needs some time to gain weight and decompress  and foster care is the best way to do that.
• Remi – This stunning girl’s current fosters are going out of town in July. She’s looking for a short-term place to crash while they’re away.

💡 Even if you can only help for a few days, that gives us time to move pets out of the shelter and avoid overcrowding.

Want to help with dogs but not sure if we have what you are looking for? Complete our foster ready form. 

If you haven’t already, please download the Lifeline Foster App or save the link in your bookmarks. (We created this for free on Jotform. Here is how to save it on your phone if you are having trouble!) 

You can use it to:

• Schedule vaccine and sick appointments (yes, we have sick appointments 7 days a week!)
• Access resources like handbooks & information on what to do if you find an adopter for your pet. 

We currently have no administrative staff. Response times on texts and calls will be slower than usual, and we truly appreciate your patience. Please use the app for anything time-sensitive like medical concerns or appointment scheduling. It will help you get what you need much faster. Also remember, we have staff on-site 7am-7pm Tuesday through Sunday, and at least 7am-11am on Monday. You are always welcome to come by. 

We know things aren’t perfect, but your support is what makes this whole mission possible. If you can foster, even short-term, please reach out by texting 409-797-6248. We’re so grateful to have you on the team.
Together, we’re saving lives. 🐾

What a crazy and impactful first half of the year! Thanks so much for being a part of it. We are happy to report lots of adoptions are occurring at our new adoption center in Webster. 

Our goal is to continue to pull pets from local county shelters and off the streets, place them in foster homes, and use the adoption center to help showcase pets. 

​We have been creating systems with the intention of making a foster program that is both HIGHLY impactful and HIGHLY supportive to our foster families!

We've created an app (can be added as an app to iphones, androids or viewed on a webpage) using free software from jotform to make fostering easier. It includes:

• access to important forms
• a place to share pictures & videos of your fosters with us 
• a place to schedule your foster pets vaccines 
• a place to schedule marketing assistance 
• information about picking up supplies at the center & a place to request supplies be delivered to you 
• Resource Board with potty training, crate training, leash training, and other behavioral tools 
• Access to the handbook & other important information

To view and download the app, click here: Lifeline Foster Hub or interact with the app below. 

We now have an organized corner of the center for fosters to pick up supplies like food, litter, toys, leashes, crates, etc. Come by anytime the center is open to pick up supplies. 

We currently have 2 donated pools for any fosters who could use a pool to help cool down their foster dog! 

Please be sure to join our Foster Facebook group if you haven't already done so! We will be posting important updates in the group, and will also be sharing pets in need of foster care. There are also a lot of experts in the group, so feel free to ask questions, share concerns and seek support in this group.
