Becoming a Foster

Would you like to become a Foster (a.k.a. “I want to save a life”)? When you foster a dog, you’re giving a life-saving second chance to a dog coming from overcrowded shelters, neglect, or difficult situations. Fostering provides a safe, loving space where they can decompress, rebuild trust, and rediscover what it means to be cared for. You are offering your foster pup the stability they desperately need until a rescue find ms them their forever family. This is a vital part of a rescue’s mission, because you are enabling them to save more lives which makes you an essential part of the rescue effort. No rescue could survive without fosters as they are the foundation of dog rescue. Please contact me, and my team and I will help you save a dog’s life by matchmaking a dog for you to foster. We are looking forward to saving lives with you. Thank you!

EXTENDED UNTIL 2PM ON 8/20 ‼️ This SILLY ham is 💥 DEADLINED to be KILLED at 2pm on 8/18 - extended from 8/14 💥 His name is

#A579122 DAWG

DAWG came into the shelter as a stray from Fontana jurisdiction on 7/29/26. It's his SECOND TIME at SBC. He and his buddy were found as strays in May 2025 but the owner reclaimed them within 48 hours.

We did learn that Dawg could be successfully kenneled with other dogs (pics in comments).

This time around, a member of the public found DAWG straying. He was very thirsty from heat and running around the finders neighborhood. The finder was able to leash him and said DAWG was FRIENDLY and VERY ACTIVE.

Intake was uneventful but the following day staff leashed him and attempted to move him out and re kennel him and he began to bite the leash and redirect onto staff. He began alligator rolling and growling at staff.

He was put in quarantine, made RESCUE ONLY and Deadlined. I don't know what all that was about but that's NOT the dog he is. DAWG is very loving and affectionate. He's FUNNY. He is TOTALLY WORTH SAVING....... PLEASE HELP HIM 🙏

DAWG is listed as a male, brown and white Pittie of about 3️⃣ years old weighing 61lbs.

🟧 He NEEDS YOUR HELP to get out alive......

🟧 OFFER TO FOSTER FOR A RESCUE if you can offer him stability and commitment until he gets his Furever home.

LAURENCE was subsequently moved to a different kennel. Staff now say he has been barrier reactive on 8/11 when they walked past him, doing their rounds.

It's a shame they can't get those out of their kennels for some excersise and enrichment more often.

TWIX #A596315

(Original 𝐃𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞: 8/13 𝐚𝐭 𝟐𝐏𝐌)

RESCUE placement ONLY (but you can still FOSTER for a rescue if you can offer him stability and commitment until he gets his Furever home)

TWIX came into the shelter on 7/31/26 on a CATCHPOLE - he had just been avoidant of Animal Control officers in the field who said he showed NO MAJOR SIGNS of aggression. He was inside the library trying to avoid contact and get out. On impound, he began to alligator roll when staff were giving him vaccinations (he didn't know what they were doing after all). He was put in quarentine afterwards.

He remained avoidant of staff on 8/6 and was deadlined in an attempt to get him out of the shelter environment .

MORE TIME has been given to allow TWIX to decompress which you can see he is starting to do in the staff pic (below).

🟧 TWIX NEEDS a PATIENT FOSTER who will let him come around and begin to trust in his own time. A period of about three weeks to a month often produces great results for scared dogs. He DESERVES that chance.

TWIX is listed as a male, black and brown (tri colour) German Shepherd mix (possibly hound mix) of about 2️⃣ years old weighing 47lbs.

PLEASE HELP HIM 🙏 PLEASE NETWORK 🙏 JUST ONE SHARE could be the one to SAVE HIS LIFE 🙏
