Cristen works from home and one of her favorite things about fostering is the companionship th... View more »
Dolly
After losing two of her dogs within several months of each other, Dolly wanted another dog. She asked her vet's office what rescue they recommended, it was PPR. She ended up adopting a dog from us, really liked the whole process and decided to start volunteering with PPR. This was back in 2014 and we are so glad she joined our team!
Dolly and her husband Ron starte... View more »
Kay
Kay started fostering for Poodle and Pooch back in 2008 and she's one of our most tenured volunteers. She started out fostering for us and says "Admittedly, fostering was clearly not my strong suit because every dog I’ve ever fostered has never left my home." Kay is truly a serial foster fail!
Since there was no room left to foster more dogs, Kay eventually moved... View more »

Alex started fostering for Poodle & Pooch Rescue in early 2022. She’s been an animal lover since she was a child, and knew once she had the ability to, she wanted to foster dogs, particularly seniors, who may have been looked over due to their age. Once she found out that Poodle and Pooch specialized in saving senior and medical need dogs, she knew we were the... View more »
Maria
“I’ve been fostering with PPR since 2013. I signed up, got my first foster dog, fell in love with him and foster failed – he never left my house! That happened twice. I had Toby (who has since passed) and now it’s just me and Buddy and we usually have a foster dog here too. I became a PPR Foster Coordinator in 2015 and then when I retired in 2018, with...

Lara and Sean
Lara started volunteering with PPR in 2016 after completing chemotherapy. She wanted to be involved in the community, but couldn’t be too involved with people, due to her immune system, so helping dogs was the perfect thing! Little did she realize the positive impact it would have on her family.
Fostering is truly a family affair for Lara, Sean and their 4 young ... View more »
