Our ability to rescue dogs at risk depends entirely on whether we can find committed, qualified animal lovers to foster them. These dogs are in desperate need of placement. If we don’t have foster homes for them, we have to pause intake. YOU can make the difference… not only for your foster pup but for the next one whose life you made space for us to save. Ready to be a four legged angel’s hero? Please read our foster FAQs, submit a foster application, and email foster@socialteesnyc.org. We are so grateful you’re willing to welcome in a soul whose journey will be shaped by your compassion, generosity, and creativity. :)
NOTE: All dogs on this page are up for adoption and eligible for our foster-to-adopt program.

Dogs We’re Trying to Save!
