Opening up homes and hearts to dogs who need them!

These dogs may have never experienced a kind word, a gentle gesture, a healthy meal, or a visit to the vet for care . Our fosters do all this and more.

The job of a foster is not just about playing fetch, cuddling on the sofa, or taking the dog on a walk on a nice warm day. It is about all of that, but much more.

To be a foster means to attend to a dog when it is sick. It means to slide in a visit to the vet on an already packed day. It means more toys to pick up, floors to sweep, carpet stains to remove and more dog dishes and bedding to wash.

PUP fosters and their families are an amazing group of people and we are so grateful for each and every one of them! Without our fosters we cannot save dogs. We are a foster home program; we do not have a facility. Our foster volunteers are truly the backbone of PUP. Their participation is critical and very much appreciated.

PUP was established in May, 2006. Since that time, due to the efforts of our foster volunteers and their family members opening up their hearts and homes, we have placed an ever increasing number of dogs into their forever homes.
