Fosters Needed! 

 

You can save a life!

 

The single greatest contribution you can make to our mission (and to the lives of our dogs!) is providing a temporary home during the transition period between rescue and adoption. We can only commit to saving a dog once we have a foster home in place, and we can only do this thanks to the love and dedication of people like YOU!

NOBR knows that our foster caregivers are the backbone of our work, so we work hard to ensure that joining our Foster Care Team is an easy, fun, and fulfilling experience! We work closely with both our foster caregivers and our adoptable dogs to set everyone up for success. We do our best to match foster caregivers with foster dogs based on everyone's needs, taking into consideration temperament, energy level, training needs, special needs, etc. We work with a team of experienced veterinarians, behaviorists, and volunteers to help you help your foster dog. We also provide extensive on-boarding resources and 24/7 support to everyone on our Foster Care Team.

 

Fostering is FREE to foster caregivers. We provide ALL supplies (kennel, food, toys, medications, etc.), professional and veterinary services, and care plans.

 

Our expectation of foster caregivers is that they keep to the dog's care plan, bring the dog to adoption events (one hour, once a month), provide NOBR with regular updates and photos, and provide the dog with regular love and care! We require that foster caregivers live within ~1-hour of New Orleans.
