At Lil Rascals, we believe every dog deserves a second chance—but we can’t do it alone. As a community-driven rescue, we rely on the compassion and support of people like you to help us save lives. Whether it’s opening your home to foster a pup in need, volunteering your time, making a donation, or choosing to adopt, your involvement makes a world of difference. Together, we can give these dogs the love, care, and future they deserve.
Foster
Why Foster?
Every day we see countless animals that are in dangerous situations and need our help. Some are losing their homes and some are out of time at shelters and we are their only option. Our rescue is 100% foster based, which means that all the animals in our care live with foster parents. Without fosters, we couldn’t save lives!



Becoming a foster gives you the chance to experience having an animal companion without a lifetime commitment, or to try new companions for an existing pet. As a foster, you provide a safe, loving home for pets in our program while we help them find their forever home. You can help us gain valuable information about the pet, give them much-needed attention and enrichment, and ultimately help us make the best match with a new family.
What are the responsibilities of being a Foster Family?
- Provide a safe, clean, caring environment
- Provide exercise and socialization as appropriate
