Foster 2 Home

Great people to deal with! We rescued our dog, Loki, on Halloween. They were very thorough in making sure he went to a home that would be capable of working on his issues. They love each foster animal as their own.

I’ve recently had the opportunity to meet several animal rescue organizations. It’s heartbreaking how many dogs are looking for new homes, but it’s also heartwarming how many rescue organizations are committed to finding to finding them new homes. I was particularly touched by the people affiliated with the «Foster2Home» rescue. Their deep commitment to help as many animals as possible is unbelievable. They’ve rescued over 1,200 animals since 2010. I was impressed with the amount of time and effort the volunteers spend qualifying and making sure that each of their rescues is placed with the best possible home. I’ve recently rescued two little dogs myself. They’re absolutely perfect, and especially loving pets because they know they’ve been rescued. Thank you Foster2Home for helping to save these these beautiful animals. I would highly recommend this rescue organization.
Thanks,
Maria

We just adopted «Blondie» and we are new to the process of rescue. Everyone was wonderful! Cathy, the owner – immediately contacted me and sent the application to the foster mom. The foster mom and I, have spoken MANY times and I can easily get any questions I have, answered right away. I was very nervous about a rescue dog – I don’t tend to rush into things – but this process has been so positive!
I must say – the people in this organization are angels! When we came to the adoption, the foster mom and the Cathy had tears in their eyes – they were so happy for Blondie to find a forever home.
We lost a wonderful dog after 14 years, and I never thought that we would find a dog as sweet, cuddly, kind and adorable as her. But Blondie is amazing! She is patient, kind, and just so sweet!
I am «sold» on rescued dogs and especially on this organization.
Thank you so much for our new family member!

Very disappointing. There is obviously something shading with this so called rescue. We are a family able willing and ready with a fenced in yard, someone home during the day and everything a dog would ever want or need. Without even checking our references they determined it would be too much for us to handle which is the most incorrect statement of this family. Even if you are first with your application, first to meet and determine the pet you came to see they are very pushy to try and get you to take another pet. I tried to do the right thing by saving a dog but its because of people like this I would rather buy our pet. Go somewhere else if you want a pet.

I rescued an animal from this rescue end of last year. Long story short, things were not what they seemed and we had to relinquish the dog after a month. I didn’t ask for any refund, and donated everything I had for the animal back to them. The head of the rescue wrote me the nastiest emails you have ever seen, calling me a liar and a horrible person. The dog is now back on their site and magically they have changed his breed type and now site all the reason why I had to return the dog. I feel as though I was mislead from the beginning with this animal and it’s not the animals fault. I would never adopt from this rescue again.

WOW! Is all I can say. I tried to contact the owner of this so called rescue and after corresponding with her via email for ½ a day, she sent me the rudest email I have ever gotten, accusing me of everything from lying and wasting her time to being self centered. I had not even spoken with her on the phone. She got all of this from email correspondence and when I ended up getting stuck at work and not getting back to her immediately she sent me this horrible email. I would never deal with people like this. They are more about themselves than they are for the animals. RUn as fast as you can from this rescue. There are much better ones to deal with who truly care about the animals. This one truly does not.

I adopted my lab mix pup from Foster 2 Home a few days ago after ‘courting’ her for 2 weeks. The organization is very thorough — checking references, vet records, and doing a home check. Although this may seem extreme, they are committed to making sure that matches will succeed, and that new owners are responsible.
I was extremely impressed with the pup’s foster mom that helped me throughout the process. She did a fantastic job with the pup and was always available to answer my questions. Chrissy, the F2H team member that helped me with the adoption was thorough in explaining the process and requirements.
This is an all-​volunteer organization, so the F2H folks are doing all the work in their spare time. If you are looking for a quick-​fix dog adoption, this isn’t the organization for you. If, however, you’re committed to rescuing a wonderful dog in need, check them out.

I was very happy with Foster2Home — we adopted from this rescue just over a month ago. Within an hour of sending my application, it was forwarded on to the foster mom and we began communication shortly thereafter. The process was smooth and enjoyable. the foster mom we dealt with was knowledgeable and very helpful. We LOVE our dog and have referred many people to Foster2Home in the last month!

I haven’t been able to get in touch with these people. I wanted to adopt a dog on their website and did everything they said I should. Submitted application, sent email, etc. I also called after not hearing back in their self-​allotted time frame of «48 hours» to respond. Last I checked the status of the dog was updated on their website to «adoption pending»…but I have not heard from them (neither email nor phone). It’s been nearly a week (5 full business days).
Shelters are great, and I want to adopt from one, but how am I supposed to get a good feeling about it when they don’t respond to any inquiries… a «sorry but you’re not what we’re looking for» would be wonderful so I would at least know! I’m also not one of those people that keeps calling non-​stop over and over, it’s just not worth my time.
I’ll be searching for another shelter to donate my time and money to. It’s too bad really, for these guys. I’m really disappointed too because I volunteered at a shelter for 4 years. I LOVE dogs and the when I volunteered the time was not right to own one, so I waited and helped out. Now I feel it is, and I get no response.
If I hear back I will update on here, but otherwise «two stars» for no response and giving them the «benefit of the doubt».
Very disappointed.
