Did you know that fostering a dog can be one of the most rewarding experiences? When you open your heart and home to a shelter pup, you're not just providing a safe place to sleep – you're helping them heal, grow, and open up.
Many of the dogs in shelters have had tough starts in life. They may be shy, scared, or unsure of the world around them. But with the love and patience of a foster family, these dogs can start to trust again. They learn what it feels like to be cared for, and that kindness often helps them blossom into the loving companions they were always meant to be.
Fostering gives these incredible dogs a chance to feel like part of a family again, even if it's just for a little while. It helps them gain confidence, improve their behavior, and learn to thrive until they find their furever home. 🏡💕
If you're thinking about making a difference, fostering is a powerful way to save lives. By opening your home, you're giving a dog a chance to shine—and you just might discover a new best friend along the way.
The Animal Shelter of Sullivan County will supply everything that is needed!
Ready to change a life? Below are just a few faces who need fostering. Reach out to us today and ask about fostering opportunities, fill out our foster application with the link below! Together, we can help these pups find the love they deserve. 💖🐶

I live on Carolina Ave and he came up to me shivering and looking pitiful. I took him inside to get him warm and give him food and water. He has a blue and white collar with no tag. He is a sweet boy and I hope he finds his owners.

With the winter storm advisories in effect, we will be closed to the public tomorrow. Fear not, we will still have employees and volunteers tending to the animals.
With this weather in mind, we'd like to remind you to be sure to bring your pets in from the elements. If being inside the home isn't an option, providing them with an enclosed space away from the wind and elements is crucial. If you need assistance creating a warm space, we do have some dog houses and shavings we can help with (while supplies last).

We have received a number of calls about dogs roaming on Cooks Valley Road, Kingsport TN. The dogs are described as friendly, a border collie type, a black lab wearing a coat, and one or two boxer type dogs. If these are your dogs, please go contain them. There is a containment law in Sullivan County and we do not want them hit by a car. Animal control is currently swamped with welfare calls, and is unable to retrieve them at this time. ...

So heartbreaking, but I’m so thankful he is safe and warm on this cold, snowy afternoon.
With it having cataracts that severe, I bet someone dumped it because they could not afford to get it treatment. Instead of loving it more and ensuring its remaining days were fill with unconditional endless love

Do u need a foster
I hope that's not one of my past pups. It looks like one of my male pups from my litter of Goldendoodles.
I hope the parents are found soon.

If it’s a boy see if he responds to the name caster
How long will he be on stray hold
Poor little thing. Looks a lot like my maltipoo. They aren’t made for this cold. So glad it is safe and warm.
