Save a Life

Foster a Shelter Dog

I built this site for an amazing animal rescuer, networker and friend in 2023. The goal was to have one simple URL for anyone in the Phoenix area to apply to foster an e-listed shelter dog at MCACC. We created a very simple form and the networking community ran with it. Hundreds – if not thousands – of dogs have been saved through this site.

And now my friend is burnt out. It happens to the best of us. I don’t want to see this website die – because hundreds of dogs will die with it. I cannot manage this site though. We need to find someone who can. I am going to be very picky about this, but I would love to talk to you if you think you can do it. 

We need someone who can create and manage a team of networking volunteers and run an email inbox to screen foster applications that come through this site. Foster applicants are then paired up with New Hope Partner Rescues. Dogs generally get a 5-day deadline, so it can be very stressful, but this is how lives are saved. 

I don’t know exactly how we are going to be able to continue to save dogs without this site. 

Who am I? Well, I’m the co-founder of a New Hope Rescue, and I am very worried about what the loss of this site means for our ability to continue to intake e-listed shelter dogs. 

I hope to hear from you.
