Foster Homes Needed for Friends of Homeless Animals

I might sound like a broken record but in this work, you hear and see some very sad tales of animals ending up in shelters to be put to sleep for no other reason than the owners simply cannot care for them anymore.  As a result, we have so many dogs and cats needing homes with fosters and cannot accommadate all the requests we receive as a result.  This is not just a thought, it is reality...animals are being put to sleep by the thousands every day.

One of the rescues we receive quite a few of our dogs from has about 40 dogs now in her house.  She is to the point of closing her doors until she can find foster homes or adopters for all the dogs.  Every day that goes by, more and more dogs are abandoned and surrendered. 

If you have ever thought you would like to make a difference and help these wonderful animals from being destroyed..Please sign up to be a volunteer at a shelter, open your home to help foster animals, whatever you can do to help.  Even the smallest task needs someone to do it! 

Our recent message from Roie Griego, the founder of FOHA.  She sent this in an email to our group, the email subject was:  PLEA FOR HELP!

Greetings to all of our wonderful volunteers, adopters, and supporters,


FOHA is in great need of foster homes at this time and we are calling on our friends for assistance.

There are many dogs needing to come into rescue.

Just this week we have rescued more than we can keep track of and more coming - the economy has hurt everyone & the pets are getting hurt the most - in my over 25 years of doing rescue - this is the worst I have ever seen things in rescue!!!!

There are others waiting to come in as well, and always more coming in from shelters all across the country.

Because of your wonderful efforts, whether it be by adopting a dog, fostering, or volunteering your time and generous contributions, we have been able to provide veterinary care and give to our rescued dogs sanctuary in your homes until they are ready for their forever placements.

At this time we really need you to open your hearts and homes temporarily for one of our incoming dogs.

If you can not foster, please consider helping with other administrative and rescue tasks.

We can only continue to help them with your support!

If you are interested in fostering o rhelping in any other way, please let me know ASAP -

Thanks so much, Roie 401-234-4499, roiegriego@gmail.com
