IMPORTANT NEWS ABOUT OUR FOSTER PROGRAM & INTAKES:
Recently, we introduced three new SECR rescue dogs – Juliet, Wyatt, and Mayo – through our social media and website. Regrettably, we must share that these are the last dogs we can take into rescue for now.
As a foster-based rescue, our intake capacity is limited to the number of foster homes we have available. We currently have 6 dogs in temporary foster care, with urgent needs that their current home situations can’t meet. Among them, Rory and Sydney require homes where they’re the only dogs. Despite our efforts to expand our foster network, we’re now out of resources to accommodate more dogs.
Our admin team and dedicated fosters have gone above and beyond, juggling rescue commitments and personal lives. However, the strain is unsustainable. Continuing in this manner jeopardizes both our team’s well-being and the dogs waiting for care.
While intakes are halted, we’ll focus on the dogs already in foster care. Medical support for seniors, hospice cases, and special needs dogs will remain our priority. We also remain committed to taking back any of our rescue dogs that were previously adopted but need to be returned into rescue, for any reason, and will continue to actively promote our foster program. We seek applicants who can genuinely provide the right environment for our dogs.
SECR’s core mission is finding the right home for every dog, not vice versa. Thus, approved foster applicants will be asked to take in specific dogs based on their capabilities/experience/current pet situation.
The shortage of suitable applicants has led to this decision, one we didn’t make lightly. We won’t resume intakes until current fosters are settled, adoptable dogs find homes, and a robust pool of qualified foster applicants is ready to take on the diverse needs of our rescues.
If you can foster, please apply. Encourage others too. The length of our closure depends on how quickly we can expand our foster network. We’re eager to return to aiding dogs in need.
