We have an URGENT need for foster homes, in  all over the USA

PuppymillRescue continues to grow and we foresee the need for more help.

We ask you to consider volunteering to foster for us or to assist in other capacities.

We are in need of foster homes-SO important to further our mission. If you are not already fostering for us, and you give your pets good vet care routinely, and feel there is some space left in your heart, PLEASE fill out an application online to foster.

We hold to high standards, but that is to ensure that the dogs get the consistency and love they deserve. They have been through so much.

PuppymillRescue pays all veterinary care for your foster dog. In addition, we have our PAL program which helps fund monthly the extras such as toys and treats.

Many rescues find it impossible or are unwilling to fund expensive surgeries for very sick dogs.

PMR accepts ex-puppymill dogs with liver shunt, and PDAs which entail extensive, expensive surgeries and medical care.

Sight and hearing impairments among other medical conditions are always addressed.

PMR takes in and maintains sick and elderly dogs that would be euthanized in other settings.

We do NOT euthanize a dog unless there is NO other choice.

PuppymillRescue is a non profit 501c3 organization and is funded strictly by donations.

These in addition to adoption fees, help to offset our costs and ensure our survival.

The credit is due to your generous help. Please remember the dogs.

Please remember us. Donations and help are needed and appreciated.

We thank you and most of all, the dogs thank you.

There are some issues that you need to consider.

We  ask that you be their transition home, between where they came from & where they'll be adopted to.  We ask that you treat them as a family member while they're in your care.  Spoil them rotten and give them love.

 That's not hard to do!
Make sure your entire family is in 100% agreement with bringing a foster dog into your home - and that they understand 100% the problems that can occur. 

They can be hard to potty train.  It maybe very trying to deal with some of their issues, like poop eating, excessive fear, or excessively needy dogs.  They tend to be frightened of sudden moves, loud noises, and sometimes even the touch of a hand.

They can go from being very scared to being totally dependent upon you, in such a short time.  During this time, they may not want to be separated from you.  They can become very stressed if they are boarded.  They remember their life in the mill and they feel as though they have been placed right back into that situation when they are boarded.  You have to be willing to take time out of your current lifestyle to help this poor unfortunate soul who depends solely on you. 

These dogs have many needs and they have been through hell living in a small cage, not getting enough to eat, not knowing understanding, love, patience, or the gentle touch of a hand.  Some have spent their entire lives living in a cage with their feet never touching the ground.  They do not know what the feel of grass is beneath their feet.  They have never been walked on a leash so you will have to teach them just as if they were a small puppy.

  It may take several months to get the puppymill smell out of the dog. No matter how many times that you wash the dog, the smell may come back.  This is embedded deep into the pores of the dogs and it will take time and good food and care in order to rid the dog of this smell. 

These dogs do not really know how to act like a dog.  This is something that they will learn over time with patience and understanding.

Caring, patience, no preconceived notions of the perfect dog, or the perfect dog in a week or a month, dealing with the dogs' issues, and being willing to wait till the dog is ready for touch, not you, pooping or peeing on the floor, hoarding toys or food, growling, or barking.

 Some dogs may also be somewhat food aggressive.  Any and all of this might be in your future with a foster dog. These dogs are not "perfect".

So if you are not up to a challenge, then a puppymill foster dog is not for you.  Just  remember that you are learning the same time as the dog. So do not get frustrated if it has some set backs right after you get it.
