Last Hope is seeking foster homes for larger dogs weighing approximately 40–80 pounds, including labs, shepherds, border collies, springers, hounds, boxers, and mixes. Fostering helps dogs find permanent homes while allowing Last Hope to save more animals.

Ideal Home

Foster dogs may be owner surrenders, unclaimed impounded dogs, or dogs from other shelters. Some may need support with housebreaking, leash walking, basic obedience, brushing, and settling into a home.

Fosters can help assess the best permanent home for their dog and learn about screening, training, and responsible dog ownership. Some dogs may require a fenced yard or acreage, and dogs are not placed in homes with children under 4.

Ongoing Health

Last Hope provides all veterinary care for fostered dogs.

Training & Support

Food, a plastic or wire crate, treats, and toys are provided. Foster dogs may attend public adoption events to meet potential adopters.

Application Details

• Fosters are asked to attend at least two Saturday public adoption days each month with their foster dog.
• Adoption events are held every other Saturday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Apple Valley Petco.
• If you fall in love with your foster dog, you may adopt the dog by paying the adoption fee.
• To foster, start by contacting Last Hope through Wags for more information and application assistance.
