Operation Paws for Homes is a nonprofit organization devoted to the rescue, rehabilitation and placement of dogs and cats who have overcome great odds and deserve wonderful, caring forever homes. Fostering abandoned and rescued dogs and puppies is a wonderful and fulfilling experience! As a foster, you will be giving a second chance to a poor dog who has no one to advocate for them except kind hearted people like you! These dogs are saved from high kill shelters with limited resources who are unable to care for the number of animals that are abandoned at their doors. There is great satisfaction in knowing that you are saving a life! If you have ever wanted to save lives by becoming a dog's foster parent, the time is now!! You don't have to be a genius. You don't have to be rich. You don't have to have tons of free time. You just have to be a good person who can offer a safe and loving home to a homeless animal, and who is willing to assist a rescue in matching your foster dog with the right forever family. The time commitment varies from a few days to several weeks. We will work with you to find the right foster pet, and we are available to answer any questions and offer support. OPH covers all veterinary expenses, preventative, collar, leash, and crates or puppy pens as needed. Fostering is also a great way to help these abandoned dogs and to learn more about different types of dogs and possibly find a forever dog for your family! If you are a bit nervous about owning a dog or a puppy, fostering gives you the opportunity to see what dog ownership entails. It is a great way to teach a family what to expect from dog ownership without jumping into something you might not be able to handle.

Operation Paws for Homes is a nonprofit organization devoted to the rescue, rehabilitation and placement of dogs and cats who have overcome great odds and deserve wonderful, caring forever homes. Though we have volunteers that volunteer at events, we also are in need of "event volunteers." A team that helps lead, coordinate, support and/or advise on our special events - large, medium, small, pop-up and annual. Many small events that we have implemented in the past, will be mapped out into an easy "how to" that is replicable by anyone, anywhere. This team will help in leading by example, but also help teach and train new volunteers to lead their own, in their area, so we can continue spreading our mission! Most to all events will have a fundraising component. If assistance is needed in that area, OPH can absolutely help! Event, program or project planning background preferred.
