| HOW CAN I SAVE A LIFE BY ADOPTING FROM A RESCUE? |
| ASDR saves pets from many shelters in the Arkansas, Louisiana,Mississippi area, who are forced to euthanize hundreds of healthy, adoptable pets each year. Shelters never have enough space for the many unwanted or abused animals that are picked up by animal control or brought shelters by uncaring owners who just don't care enough to give a pet that they chose to have a good home. ASDR assists with rescuing these animals from these shelters, providing vet care and spay/neuter, and then nurtures, trains, and cares for each animal until they can be placed with other rescues or adopted. When you adopt from ASDR you open a spot in our foster home, which enables us to rescue another animal from a euthanization that need never happen if there were more caring, responsible people who could adopt, spay or neuter, and care for these deserving animals for the rest of their lives. |

| Foster Family Information |
| Have you ever wanted to do something that really made a difference? Giving a homeless dog a temporary home changes the life of that dog forever. Many times these animals are one step away from being euthanized! The stories of their lives can be heart wrenching, but you can help to give them a happy ending. When a new dog comes into rescue, it is examined by a Vet to determine if it is healthy. It is given all the necessary vaccinations, spayed or neutered, or given a waiver if it is too young, and then released to go to a wonderful, caring foster home. This is where the greatest need arises. The only way that we can continue to save these wonderful animals is with great volunteers who are willing to open up their hearts and their homes and give them a temporary place of safety, security, love, and training until they can be transported to forever homes where they will be wanted and loved for the rest of their lives – and never have to worry again about the possibility of starving on the streets, living with a cruel and abusive owner, or being brought to a “shelter” only to be led to a room where a needle is inserted into a vein and they die long before their time should be up. If the dog needs further Vet care, you will be asked to either make the dog available for pick up, or bring the dog in yourself, depending on where you are, and what are you willing to do. Your commitment will be to give the dog the best temporary home that you can. Some dogs need to be housebroken, some dogs need medication, and other dogs need to be crate trained. Every dog has different needs. Are you still interested? If so, please complete the foster application to express your interest. Someone from ASDR will contact you to give you more information. |
