Fostering
Lost Boys Hope is solely a foster based rescue. All dogs are placed directly into foster homes to start their journey to the life they have always dreamt of. Without dedicated foster families, we would not be able to rescue the dogs that need us. Lost Boys Hope supplies all the food, toys, leashed, collars everything fosters will need to make their foster dog a well-rounded member of any home. We provide the best of veterinary care all paid for by donations from the public.
The role of a foster home is so very important, you are the first stepping stone to a dog’s life. Some have never even set foot indoors, wore a collar or walked on a leash. Never mind felt real love and compassion. It can be a very scary experience for them, but you see them adapt. You see the appreciation on their faces and the love in their eyes where there was once only the dullness from neglect.
Because of our foster volunteers, all the dogs we rescue have the opportunity to adapt to a loving and supportive atmosphere before finding their forever home.
A note from one of our dedicated fosters
“The joys of fostering!!! The joys of never knowing what you will get next; big or small I love them all. I joined Lost Boys Hope a year ago, I can truly say my life is better for joining this organization. My love for dogs runs deep, knowing there are puppies sleeping in the cold, scared and alone with no food to eat is why I foster. One day at a time I try my best to make an impact on the world; even if just a small one. Bringing these dogs into my home and watching them transform from scared timid little pups to confident, happy and well loved dogs is the biggest satisfaction I could ever ask for. Every pup that I foster takes a piece of my heart, and yes, it is always sad to see them go; but knowing they went to the very best place possible makes it all better. This job brings so much happiness into our lives!”
