Fostering is a rewarding experience that provides stability and love a homeless animal needs while we search for a forever family. Don't worry, we'll provide you with all the essentials and support you need throughout the fostering process. Your kindness can make a world of difference in the life of a homeless animal. We do allow foster to adopt homes, so , if you fall in love and want to become a forever home, you will have priority for adoption consideration! If you can offer a temporary foster home, please complete a foster application at ITVrescue.org.

Story
Ryder is a super sweet snuggle bug. His favorite place is by your side or on your lap. He will definitely need a home where he gets lots of snuggles and attention. He is very easy to handle on a leash and loves outside to do his business but then is happy to return inside to his favorite soft fuzzy cushion or couch.  ##2829350##

Story
This puppy is one of 32 we rescued from Louisiana, where animal welfare protections are almost nonexistent. Puppies there are often born into neglect — chainedup mother dogs, dirt yards, no food, no vet care, and no one looking out for them. Many are dumped, abandoned, or left outside in dangerous conditions. Please submit an application on our website. www.indianasaveadog.com. Once approved, you may schedule a meetandgreet/adoption appointment to meet any of our available puppies. A $40 refundable deposit is required once your application is approved to hold this dog or schedule a meetandgreet. This helps us respect the time and commitment of our foster families and volunteers. The deposit is applied to the adoption fee or fully refunded if you attend your appointment and decide not to adopt. Weight: 17lbsAge: 4-5 months All puppies are up to date on vaccines, microchipped, and will be spayed/neutered before adoption. Adoption Fee: $350 ADOPTION CRITERIA An approved puppy pen is required for most dogs, rather than a crate  A fenced yard is required for safety. Condo applicants without fencing may be considered on a casebycase basis. A household with an adult home during the day to provide training, supervision, and companionship Children 7+ (younger children considered casebycase) ##2833400##

Story
Pearl and Opal are 1½–2yearold, 50–55 lb Great Pyrenees/Golden Retriever sisters . They are gentle, easy dogs who adjusted to home life quickly and have been wellbehaved since the day they arrived. They have the sweet, submissive, peoplepleasing Golden Retriever temperament — affectionate, friendly, and eager to follow direction. They also carry the calm, steady Great Pyrenees guardian traits — protective of their home and family, aware of their surroundings, and will alert with barking when they notice something outside. Their barking is normal GP guardian behavior. They are fully potty trained, good with other dogs, ride well in the car, and have no food or toy issues. Both girls are spayed, up to date on vaccines, microchipped, and current on preventatives. Adoption Criteria:- Fencedin backyard required- Adult who is home more during the day- Children 7+ (younger casebycase) Adoption Fee:$500 for both. We will separate if necessary. The adoption fee for each would be $350. Both girls are being fostered in Fort Wayne, Indiana.  ##2783143##

Story
Benny is 8 years old - but he looks and acts a lot older. He is what one would call a Velcro-dog. He picks a person and sticks to them like glue. I’ve had Benny since he was 3 pounds - he has always been a very good boy. He is house trained, good with kids. Babies being rough stresses this old man out, so preferably older kids. He doesn’t mind babies, he just doesn’t like the ear-pulling and climbing that comes with them. He is in his retirement days. The thing he likes to do the most is sleep. He loves to be cuddled, will bother you to sleep next to you on the couch or bed, and wants covered up and tucked into blankets. While he is a sweetheart… He has an issue with stress and anxiety. He’s not much for barking, and doesn’t bite. But, unfamiliar or loud noises will make him run and hide to his safe space or safe person. He might be a giant scaredy cat, but he is worth it. All this guy needs is a blanket and a person to love him, so he can sleep away his days in peace.
