"Fur BnB" Host - Temporary Foster Dog Parent

ORGANIZATION: The Animal Pad

TAP Logo

This is a more unique volunteer need than the ones we usually list - The Animal Pad all-breed dog rescue is looking for TEMP FOSTERS located in San Diego, CA! If you would be willing to open your home temporarily to a rescue dog in need and would like to be a "Fur BnB" Host, we want you in our TAP family!!

Since we are a foster-based rescue, our organization would literally be nothing without our incredible foster and temp foster families who are willing to open up their homes (and hearts) to a rescue pup in need. Fosters are truly the reason we are able to do what we do!

About The Animal Pad

Location:

4620 Avocado Blvd, La Mesa, CA 91941, US

Mission Statement

The Animal Pad is a nonprofit, all-breed dog rescue based in San Diego, CA that focuses on saving dogs from the streets of Mexico and high kill shelters. We get them the vet care they need, place them in foster homes and then find them loving forever families. Our mission is to form a safe space for dogs experiencing crisis and neglect, and to build a community of compassion through education, rescue, rehabilitation, and adoption. Our community of volunteers and fosters strives to ensure that all dogs get a fighting chance, and believes that no case is too extreme to be helped - meaning our rescue is full of perfectly imperfect dogs who can’t wait to meet you!

Description

Here at TAP, we give voice to the voiceless and our mission is to rescue, rehabilitate and find them the best homes possible. Founded in 2010, The Animal Pad is volunteer run and funded entirely by donations. We rescue dogs primarily off the streets of Mexico as well as high kill shelters here in California, and provide them full medical care and a loving foster home to heal in before they head to their adoptive home.
