Fostering with CHR
We are always very grateful for our foster parents. Without them we could not save lives. Please take a few minutes to read about our foster program. The following will go over what is involved in becoming a foster parent. Please feel free to contact us if you have a question on something that is not listed here.
Dogs rescued through CHR will come from Shelters, Owner Release and Puppy Mills. The degree of neglect inflicted on the companion animal will vary in every case. We will discuss with you what your expectations are and try to fit you with a foster dog. We take the time to match the right dog with the applicant's needs and capabilities. We give our foster's full access to the applications and
strongly appreciate their involvement in the screening process of their foster dog. We don't feel that we own the dogs in our rescue. We feel that we have been given a gift to help them move into a home much better than where they came from.
What is involved? Mostly your time and love. You will be required to complete an application prior to fostering. If you have pets, you will be required to provide medical records for you current pets as proof that they are up to date on vaccines, spayed or neutered and on heartworm preventative.
We provide all medical expenses for your foster dog. Often, the incoming dogs require full dentals and advanced diagnostics that will be completed to ensure the dog is healthy. Your foster dog will be up to date on all shots and current on Heartworm medication. We provide quality food for the foster dog, but ask for you to assist with buying the food if this is not a burden to your expenses. We provide an online forum that will be monitored for any basic questions you may have on fostering. An experienced volunteer will be ready to answer your questions. We believe in quality support and your concerns and questions will be immediately addressed while fostering for us.
If you are interested, please download the application and email it to us. Email foster@caringheartsrescue.org with questions. We look forward to hearing from you! Thank you for your time!

Mission Statement
Caring Hearts Rescue is a 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization based in Fairfax, Virginia. Our volunteers rescue small breed dogs from desperate situations including neglect, puppy mill rescue, owner surrender and euthanasia by animal shelters due
to overpopulation. All of our rescued dogs stay in safe foster homes while they await their "forever home." Our rescued babies are examined, given inoculations and spayed\neutered before placement.
Our volunteers search for families that understand the responsibility of being a Guardian to these little guys and consider them members of the family. This is a priority to our organization. CHR rely's on donations to keep the rescue operating. None of our Officers receive money for their services,
only the heartfelt satisfaction of saving these wonderful lives.
