Join Our Foster Crew

More foster homes = more lives saved.

To rescue a dog, we need a foster home in Maine to step up and provide a safe place to land. All expenses are covered—you just provide love, a stable environment, and work on basic training (like housebreaking for puppies and simple commands such as sit, stay, and come).

To foster, you must:

  • Have all pets in the home spayed/neutered and up to date on vaccinations.
  • Ensure no adults in the home have a history of cruelty, abuse, or neglect toward animals or humans, including but not limited to domestic violence charges.

Make a Donation

Your donations make a direct impact!

Every dollar you donate goes toward:

  • Rescuing dogs at high risk of euthanasia in shelters
  • Providing essential vet care, including spay/neuter procedures
  • Transporting dogs to Maine
  • Covering emergency medical bills
  • Providing training to help them succeed in their forever homes


Every contribution, big or small, makes a difference and allows us to save lives.

Pittie Posse Rescue & Sanctuary is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit, and all donations are tax-deductible.
