Volunteer Your Love, and Save Lives!

Would you consider being a fosterhome for an American Eskimodog?Heart Bandits of Greater Los Angeles rescues many dogs a year from shelters, homeless owners, the streets, and other desperately sad situations. Each dog needs time in a foster home before they can be adopted to a loving family and a foreverhome.As a foster, depending on a dog's needs you might just provide love, food and shelter, or in special cases, be the one to watch over a sick dog's recovery or give basic training to a puppy. It all depends on what kind of dog you would like to help.You can also decide what time-frame to devote to a needy dog: Temp-fostering involves periods of 1-4 weeks when a dog is going to be transferred elsewhere after a short period in your home.Typical fostering is a longercommitment to care for a dog throughout the process of locating a foreverhome; sometimes this only takes aweek or two but in other cases can take months.While you foster we will engage with you regarding the process of matching the dog to a new owner; the search will be done via internet networking, public adoption events, email campaigns, individual meet-and-greets, and more.You can save a life and change a life!(Pictured here is Angel, who was rescued and adopted via our fosterhome program.
