Foster To Adoption!

​What Is Foster-to-Adoption?

Foster-to-adoption gives approved adopters the opportunity to welcome a dog into their home on a trial basis while deciding if it’s the right long-term match. During this period, the dog is still considered "in foster," and our rescue continues to provide support, guidance, and cover approved medical expenses. Once you know it’s love, you complete the adoption!

Why Choose Foster-to-Adopt?

  • Save a life: You’re helping a dog leave the shelter or home enviroment and begin their new chapter.

  • No-pressure transition: You and your foster dog have time to adjust and bond before adoption.

  • Support along the way: LRGR covers medical care during the foster period and provides guidance.

  • Matchmaking made easy: See how the dog fits into your home and lifestyle before committing.
