🐾 Friendly with people and other dogs
🐾 Potty trained
🐾 Crate trained
🐾 Needs some leash training
These beautiful babies are being fostered here in MA.
🐾 Meet Tansy
Tansy is a 5-month-old mix who just arrived at her foster home today, and apparently she didn’t need much of an adjustment period. 😂
Her foster mom says she’s as sweet as can be and already settling in like, “Yep, this will do.” ❤️
Stay tuned as we get to know this little lady!
🐾 Meet Tuck! 🐾
He is a 5 month old cutie 💓
His foster shared that Tuck was a little nervous and shy when he first arrived, but everything changed once he met the resident dog. He quickly relaxed and has been happily following their lead, learning the ropes and figuring out how to be a dog in a home.
Miss Lady is the sweetest mama to Lola, Lulu, Lance, Link & Linus! 💕 At just 2–3 years old, she’s settling beautifully into foster life.
She loves other dogs, does well on leash, and is making great progress with potty training. She gets so excited to see people that she sometimes has to announce it! 😂
Her babies are growing up—now it’s Mama Lady’s turn to find her happily ever after. 🐾❤️
Jill is a 53 lbs 10-month-old Great Pyrenees/Lab mix with a gentle, sweet personality and a calm energy level. She loves being outside and enjoys the company of other dogs.
Jill is crate trained, potty trained, well-mannered, and takes treats gently. She is continuing to build confidence with leashes and new people and is making wonderful progress.
Jill's ideal home includes a securely fenced yard
Kelly is a 10-month-old Lab mix who has made incredible progress through training and continues to gain confidence every day. She loves leash walks, hikes, trips to the beach, and even relaxing at a brewery.
Kelly thrives with other dogs and will need a securely fenced yard and another confident dog in her forever home to help her continue building confidence and enjoying life.
Fostering with From Alone to Home Rescue
Ever wanted to foster a dog? FATHR doesn’t have a physical shelter and is entirely reliant on our foster families – we would cease to exist without them. We are only able to pull as many dogs as we have foster homes for and we are constantly looking to welcome new foster families into our rescue. As a Massachusetts-based organization, we are approved to have foster homes in MA, RI, CT.
Why Foster?
Fosters are the backbone of any foster-based rescue. We do not have a shelter; therefore, we rely on amazing people to foster a dog in need. Fostering is completely free and comes with plenty of dog kisses and wagging tails! Every dog comes to your home fully vetted and spayed or neutered. The rescue pays for ALL expenses. The only thing
Fosters are the backbone of any foster-based rescue. We do not have a shelter; therefore, we rely on amazing people to foster a dog in need. Fostering is completely free and comes with plenty of dog kisses and wagging tails! Every dog comes to your home fully vetted and spayed or neutered. The rescue pays for ALL expenses. The only thing we ask that you provide is love. Most dogs have never had someone to love them and make them feel safe. Foster families are usually the first to find out about the pup's personality. You may even be the first to teach your foster pup basic house manners, making them more appealing to potential adopters. We are the bridge between their forever home. Become a foster and save a life. It is more rewarding than you could ever possibly imagine.

Foster homes are asked to provide foster dogs with plenty of love, adequate food and water, shelter from the elements, and exercise.

Foster homes are asked to provide foster dogs with plenty of love, adequate food and water, shelter from the elements, and exercise. Administering medications or other medical care may also be necessary. In addition to providing the basics, foster parents may also be asked to follow a behavioral or training plan with their foster dog or puppy.
Foster homes play a crucial role in saving and rehabilitating rescued animals. They are in a unique position to help abused or neglected animals learn how to love and trust again.
Foster homes can help these animals become more “adoptable” by providing socialization and basic training. By teaching or re-teaching an animal how to live in a home setting, foster homes help increase the odds for a smooth and successful transition into a permanent adoptive home.
The basic responsibilities are:
• Provide a safe, clean, caring environment.
• Provide food, water, toys/enrichment, and shelter.
• Provide exercise and socialization as appropriate.
• Monitor any medical and/or behavioral problems. We understand you are not a vet but if you see concerning issues please contact us immediately.
• Taking pictures of your foster dog so we can use them to network your pup and help them get adopted.
• Responding to email inquiries on your foster dog from your foster coordinator.

How long can a foster stay?
What are the Responsibilities of a Dog Foster Home?
We prefer our dogs stay in their foster homes until they are adopted. The timing can range anywhere from 1 day to 3 months. We do understand that dogs are just like people and have different personalities. If for any reason you think your foster isn't a good fit for your specific home, please let us know as soon as possible..
