*Temporary Pause on New Foster and Volunteer Onboarding*
At this time, we’re taking a short pause on onboarding new foster homes and volunteers. This intentional step allows our team to stay focused on what matters most right now: providing excellent care for the dogs currently in our program and investing deeply in the amazing fosters and volunteers already walking alongside us. We are incredibly grateful for the community support that makes our work possible, and this pause is about strengthening our foundation so we can grow responsibly and sustainably in the future. We look forward to reopening onboarding once we’re ready—and we can’t wait to welcome new faces then. Thank you for your understanding and for believing in our mission.
