Foster
We cannot save lives without our incredible fosters.
Whether you can foster for just a week or longer, you’re not only saving one life — you’re creating space for another dog to be rescued. We provide all food and supplies, so you can focus on giving love and care.
Of course you will be attached and saying goodbye will be bittersweet, but as soon as you get the first update from their new family it makes it all worthwhile. You are helping a dog who has been through enough get ready for a forever home.
Just like adopters, fosters complete a simple application process that includes a veterinary reference, landlord permission (if needed), and a home visit (done virtually).
We’d love to have you on our team! Reach out to our Foster Coordinator, Cassie, at cassie@mainedogrescue.org to learn more.
Volunteer
We’re always looking for passionate volunteers to join us at The Maine Dog Rescue!
Whether it’s helping with applications, pitching in at events, or lending a hand behind the scenes, your time makes a huge difference — and the dogs will be so grateful!
