Dog Rescue

At Hoadin, the organization we donate to helps us carry out our crucial mission to help out dogs in need and promote dog rescue and adoption. Being based just outside of New York City, we focus our support on the NYC based organization Foster Dogs.  Foster Dogs, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that connects rescue organizations, adopters, fosters, and other partners together in our shared mission to help out dogs in need. As a leading community resource, they provide expert advice, quality marketing, and several outstanding specialized programs, such as Chloe's Fospice Friends, a heartwarming program assists elderly and terminally-ill dogs during their final months. Foster Dogs sponsors the dog’s needs for the remainder of his or her life. 

Why is fostering so important to helping out dogs in need? 

Fostering plays a vital role in dog rescue and the shelter system, allowing needy animals to relax, recuperate, and learn how to be good pets in a normal home environment. Rescued dogs in foster care avoid the stress of shelter life, and get to meet new people (each of whom could be a potential adopter) every single day. The more shelter dogs that can be removed from the shelter into foster homes, the more dogs can be in the best position to be adopted. In addition, there is more space in shelters that can reduce the amount of dogs needlessly euthanized due to lack of shelter space.
