Find Your Perfect Foster Dog

​We couldn't save over 1,000 dogs a year without our dedicated, loving foster families. We bring the dog and supplies, you bring the love!

Find your perfect Family Dog!

As a foster, you will play a vital role in helping our dogs find a loving home – from socializing, to bringing them to events, to sometimes just showing them what it is to be loved. Foster families must live in the Bay Area and be available to bring foster dogs to adoption appointments at our shelter in SF.

Lady

Meet Lady! This beautiful black beauty came to us from Turlock. She is a four year old Kelpie or cattle dog mix. Lady has perky ears and a wiggly body (some might say she needs a diet but we all have things to work on, right). Lady gets along well with other dogs at the shelter. She would love a new family that can help her work on her leash skills and would prefer to live in a suburban or less dense area. Lady is very treat motivated and would absolutely love to learn new tricks as she is very eager to please. Please come meet this beautiful Lady soon!

Lola

Lola is a true sweetheart! This precious three year old girl was dropped off at the Yolo County shelter as a stray after another dog attacked her. Here in San Francisco to start her next chapter, this girl has won over our hearts with her happy personality and fantastic manners. She has been great with other big dogs in our shelter as well. Lola would do best in a home with no children and no small dogs. She also loves to ride in the car! We think this great girl would make a fantastic first dog and a wonderful, grateful family member. Please stop by and ask for Lola!

Lunabell

Lunabell is a sweet 2-3 year old Siberian Husky girl from Fresno. She was rescued off the kill list with her sister and brought straight to Family Dog Rescue where she is now happy and safe. She loves to give kisses and get lots of pets and hugs. Lunabell is a fantastic runner! She is a favorite to go for a run with. After the workout, she will enjoy cuddling on the couch. She can't wait to be a part of your family! **Please note: Lunabell is in foster and not at the shelter. If you'd like to meet a dog currently in foster, please fill out an adoption application and once approved, we will set up a meeting by appointment.

Mr. Magoo

Welcome the amazing Jack Russell Chihuahua mix Mr. Magoo! He is one of our Lucky Fourteen! This group of fourteen dogs came to us after their owner suddenly died.

Mr. Magoo loves to be outside and would make an amazing and grateful companion to anyone who likes short walks and lounging at parks and restaurants. His dream would be to find a family or person who can love him for him and shower him with unconditional love. Please, come meet this amazing dog! We think he will really enrich the life of a lucky family because of his unconditional love and gratitude!
