Foster Application

STFBR Foster MomThank you for inquiring to foster for Shih Tzus & Furbabies! We do not operate a shelter or have any formal facility so we rely on people like you to give of your time, heart and home to help the furbabies.  All of our rescue pups are lovingly cared for in private approved foster homes throughout the United States. We ask that you be their transitional home between where they came from & where they’ll be adopted to. We ask that you treat them as a family member while they’re in your care. Spoil them rotten and give them love. That’s not hard to do!

We have an URGENT need for foster homes in the following states:

Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Missouri, New England, New York, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas

A dog with behavior issues may have been so abused that he has serious trust issues and exhibits defensive behavior; he may have been left alone for long periods of time and now becomes anxious when his person is absent; he may have been starving and is protective of his food. We are extremely careful to place dogs with behavior issues into experienced homes, with families or individuals prepared to deal with them. We are always here for support and advice, and together we hope to help these special dogs overcome their histories and become loving pets.
​Special needs can be as simple as a need for daily eye drops, or as complex as blood sugar testing and daily insulin injections. A special needs dog may be missing a limb, or an eye, or be on prescription diet or on medication for thyroid or cardiac issues.. and still be completely functional, able to receive and give unconditional love.
