Be A Foster.
Fosters provide the invaluable love and care that a dog needs in the transition period from rescue to adoption.
Oklahoma Ruff Refuge provides all the vetting, Kennel, dog toys and dog food.
People who foster are the most important people at Oklahoma Ruff Refuge. Fostering and saving a Dog from being euthanized means giving this dog a second chance in life when this dog has been abandoned, abused, homeless or is no longer wanted.
Being a foster care provider takes a considerable amount of time, dedication, and genuine caring. It’s a big commitment and it’s not a job for everyone. Yet the fulfillment and sense of purpose you receive in knowing that you saved and loved a dog back to life is overwhelming each time you successfully place a dog.
