Small Dog Fosters
ORGANIZATION: Paws to Heart Rescue
Please visit the new page to apply.
Paws to Heart Rescue is nonprofit, all breed, foster home based dog and cat rescue serving the Greater Philadelphia area. We do not have a shelter facility and rely on foster homes to take care of the animals in our care until we find them a home. Many of the animals we rescue come from open admission shelters where they were at risk of being euthanized either due to space, time, or illness.
We are in need of volunteers to foster for all types of cats and dogs but specifically for short term small dog fosters ASAP. Our rescue pays for all veterinary care and provides food and supplies while the animal is in your care. We have events every month to promote the pets for adoption and also promote them online.
Please apply to be a dog foster on pawstoheart.org or e-mail us if you would like more information.

Mission Statement
Paws to Heart Rescue's mission is to provide temporary shelter to abandoned, stray, and surrendered animals for the purpose of finding permanent suitable new homes for them.
Description
As a foster home based organization, all of the dogs and many of the cats in our care are in temporary, private pre-screened homes until adopted. Because they live with our volunteers’ families until they are adopted, we are able to learn a lot about their behaviors, personalities, and likes and dislikes. For those who say they could never foster because they would become too attached, think of all the countless lives you could save by providing a safe haven for animals in need. You could save dozens, even hundreds of lives, just by providing a warm and loving temporary place for them to stay while they await their forever home. There is no greater joy than seeing these wonderful pets move on into their forever homes and opening up a spot in your home to continually save more. Paws to Heart has partnered with PetValu so that we can reach even more people interested in adopting a rescued pet. We currently have three adoption sites where some of our cats and kittens stay until they are adopted. Cats are available for adoption 7 days a week at each store. Volunteers help care for and socialize these cats each day. These off-site locations allow us to take in more animals in need and reduce overcrowding at the shelters we pull from.
The majority of animals rescued by Paws to Heart Rescue have been pulled from overcrowded shelters. Puppies, kittens, mixed breeds, and purebreds may fall victim and for many of these animals, we are their last chance.
