Forever Foster

Forever Foster Program

A lifetime of love, without the financial worry.


At Second Hand Dog Rescue, some of our dogs have been waiting for years - not because they aren’t amazing companions, but because they don’t fit the “perfect” mold. Many need to be the only dog in a home, yet they’re currently living with fosters who already have other pets. That means they’ve never had the full experience of being someone’s one-and-only.

Our Forever Foster Program changes that.

When you become a Forever Foster, you give one of these long-term residents a permanent, loving home - and we cover their expenses for life. That includes flea/tick and heartworm prevenatives, annual vet visits, and any other necessary medical care. We’ll even help with transportation to appointments and other supports, if needed.

This program is perfect for:

  • People who have a safe, stable home but are concerned about the costs of pet care
  • Seniors or those on fixed incomes
  • Anyone who believes every dog deserves a family


You provide the love, safety, and daily companionship. We provide the support to make it possible. Together, we can give these wonderful dogs the homes they’ve been waiting for - maybe for years - and open up space in foster homes for other dogs in need.
