Dogs XL relies on foster homes to provide temporary care and housing for our dogs until they can be placed with adoptive families. With the support and information provided by Dogs XL staff and training partners, foster families help dogs become more adoptable by providing basic behavioral modification such as how to walk gently on a leash, housetraining, and basic obedience.
We have dogs from puppies through seniors, ranging from extra large to not so large. The average foster dog stays with a foster family for between one week to two months.
Fosters are asked to attend at least one local 2 hour adoption event each month.Events are held every weekend at locations throughout MD and NOVA.
Foster homes are supplied with food, crate, veterinary care, and other necessary supplies for each dog.

About Dogs XL Rescue

Mission Statement
Dogs XL is a new "breed" of dog rescue, committed to the philosophy that there is no such thing as a perfect dog or a perfect home. The right dog is out there for everyone who is willing to open heart and home to a canine companion. Dogs XL operates like a social networking service for dogs, designed to match people and pets based on the principles of compatibility and compassion.
Description
As the name implies, Dogs XL specializes in finding homes for large dogs (typically 50lbs+). Large dogs are often first to be put to sleep in shelters because medical treatment and food for large dogs is more expensive than for small dogs.
Large dogs also take up more space at the shelter and on transports to adoptive families. Although owning a large dog is not for everyone, large dogs have many unique and endearing qualities.
Here at Dogs XL, we believe the larger the dog, the more there is to love.
