The Love Pit Rescue is a 501c3 non profit working in the Dallas Fort Worth area. We are a pit bull type dog rescue group. We are foster based which means our dogs are pulled from kill shelters, neglectfull or abusive situations or from the streets. The dogs are then placed in foster homes with their Bully Buddies until they are adopted. TLP usually has about 40 dogs in our care.
The Love Pit is currently seeking fosters. MUST BE IN THE DALLAS FORT WORTH AREA!!
By opening up your home to foster pets, you’re not only helping to save lives, you’re providing the individual attention and love these dogs desperately need.
Once you have completed your foster application online, our foster coordinator will get in touch with you to go over the foster manual and answer any questions you have about the program. Our foster program is designed to help dogs from local Texas shelters get a second chance at finding a home - a chance they may not have received at a shelter. Many of the dogs who need foster homes require extra care and attention, which shelters often don’t have the staff or resources to provide. But in a loving foster home, every dog can get the individual attention he or she needs to find a forever family. Foster homes are asked to provide care for the dogs, as well as transportation to and from veterinary appointments as needed, and transportation to TLP Meet N Greet Events at least twice a month so foster pets can get an opportunity to meet prospective adopters. Care for foster dogs includes feeding according to size and needs, exercise according to energy levels, and lots of play time and positive socialization. Although fostering is a lot of work, it is a very rewarding. By participating in this program, you are saving lives and helping many different types of dogs find the families they’ve been longing for. If you are interested in helping, you can email Brooke at bcordova@thelovepitrescue.org.
