TLC is looking for new foster families in the Philadelphia metropolitan area to help us save lives!
Foster homes play a critical part in saving dogs lives because the more adoptable dogs we can pull out of a shelter, the less crowded a shelter is and the lower the chance they will start euthanizing dogs just so they have space for the next dog to find himself homeless.
Whether you're someone who may not have the time to be a pet parent year-round or someone with pets of your own, fostering is a rewarding experience that makes a huge difference in a dog's life!
TLC pays for all the food, supplies and the veterinary care your foster dog will need, as well as provides you with the training assistance & support to help you while we search for your foster dog's furever family.
If you've ever thought about fostering, now is a great time to get involved. Foster families save lives.

Please note that TLC is located in Kimberton, PA and we would need our fosters to live local enough to us to be able to bring dogs in to see our vets, go to meet & greets at local pet stores & community events, and for adoption appointments

Mission Statement
Our mission is to rescue, offer sanctuary, and find permanent homes for abandoned, stray and surrendered dogs in order to minimize the needless euthanizing of animals. Our vision is to make the right connections between our rescued dogs and families in order to give our dogs their final, happy, loving homes. TLC strives to be a valuable resource to our community by working with struggling dog owners and by providing education on responsible dog ownership including the importance of spaying/neutering, behavior training, and microchip implanting.
