Opening your home to one of our foster dogs is a fundamental part of our rescue process. It not only provides shelter and care for a homeless Pit Bull, it also allows us to rescue more than one dog at a time since we have a limited facility space and resources. It is a lot of hard work and dedication, but your efforts will make it easier for our dogs to find their forever homes.
