All these pups are in local Massachusetts foster homes.

From Sidekicks southern foster 

"Sidekick is literally the funniest, sweetest, cuddliest, “ready for adventure“ type of guy. He’s the perfect size, potty trained and ready to be your “lil nugget”. I can’t wait to see him with his family!"

From Serenritys southern foster. "Ren is an absolute delight. I had her for a little over a month and I don't think I heard her bark but once.

She's shy at first and hides in the shower during storms but is not scared to show love once shes comfy. She's great with babies, toddlers, cats, dogs but will definitely eat a bug🤣. When I say great I mean my 2 year old was able to walk her on the leash wi

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 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.

What are the Responsibilities of a Dog Foster Home?

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.

FATHR SUPPLIES ALL BASIC SUPPLIES AND MEDICATIONS

How long can a foster stay?

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..
