WANT TO HELP?
WE ARE IN DESPERATE NEED OF FOSTER HOMES!!!
Every day, hundreds of friendly, loving, adoptable animals are put to sleep in shelters simply due to lack of space.
Please help us save as many as we can by fostering a dog or puppy in need today!
Since we do not have a shelter, we can only rescue as many dogs as we have foster homes for. The more available fosters we have, the more animals we can save!!!
A New Leash On Life Rescue pays for all necessary veterinary care. We just ask you to provide food and a loving home for a needy animal.

WHY FOSTER A DOG?
What's so great about fostering a dog? Easy -- the fantastic dog love you get for your effort! But that's not all. Here are eight more reasons why every person on the planet should think about fostering a dog:
- Fostering gives a dog a second chance at life!
- Fostering a dog is a wonderful, life-affirming project for the entire family (although singles and couples can foster too, of course)!
- Fostering a dog costs virtually nothing!
- Fostering a dog is fun!
- Fostering a dog is rewarding!
- Fostering can be done anywhere -- in a city or suburb, a house or apartment!
- Fostering a dog can take place whenever you are ready!
- Fostering a dog offers the company of canines to those unable to make a long-term commitment!
In many communities today, foster networks actually take the place of animal shelters. Such networks are generally led by no-kill rescue groups who take cats and dogs out of animal control facilities or traditional animal shelters, place them in foster homes, and then find the pets permanent homes through their own adoption events, publicity, word of mouth, or advertising. In some cases, foster families interview and screen potential adopters right from their own home.
WHAT IS INVOLVED IN FOSTERING?
NLOL Rescue foots the bill for any necessary medical treatment a foster animal may require while under your care.
The length of the fostering experience depends on the circumstance. A puppy foster may last only a few weeks. If you are fostering an adult dog, or an animal with medical issues that need to be treated, the experience may last several months.
The great thing about fostering is, you can ask for a dog who fits your lifestyle! If you live in an apartment, you can ask for or an older dog who is low energy, or an animal in medical recovery who needs to be kept quiet.
If you are an active family, you can ask for a dog who needs lots of walks and plenty of exercise. If someone in your family is comfortable working with dogs, you can help a dog with some basic obedience or teach him some tricks. And you can do your fostering when it's convenient for you--over summer vacation, a long holiday or whenever. In most cases, it's fine if you already have a dog, as long as your dog and the foster dog are both healthy and well behaved around other dogs.
