Foster & Hang - One Love Foundation
About the event
๐พ ONE LOVE FOUNDATION - FOSTER & HANG
*MEET YOUR MATCH*
What if your next adventure buddy is waiting for you at the shelter?
You know that feeling when you want a companion for the weekend? Someone to go on walks with. Someone to join you for coffee. Someone to cuddle with on the couch. Someone who's genuinely thrilled to see you when you walk through the door.
What if you could have all of that โ without committing to a dog forever? That's the idea behind Foster & Hang. โค๏ธ We're building a new community where people foster shelter dogs for a few weeks and get to experience what life with a dog can actually feel like. And we're looking for our FIRST FOUNDING FOSTERS.
๐ถ COME MEET YOUR POTENTIAL MATCH
We're heading to the upcoming Miami Dade Animal Shelter Foster Fair, and we're looking for 10โ15 people to join us.
๐ซ Explore MDAS Foster Clubs ๐ถ Learn about dog fostering ๐ฑ Discover cat & kitten opportunities ๐พ Learn more about Pawventures ๐ Explore in-house volunteer opportunities โจ And more!
You'll meet dogs who need temporary homes and have the opportunity to find one who fits your lifestyle. Maybe you're already a dog person. Maybe you've always wanted a dog but aren't ready for a permanent commitment. Maybe you work from home and would love some company. Maybe you've been wanting a reason to get outside more. Or maybe... you just want someone to cuddle with. Fostering can give you the chance to experience all of that while giving a shelter dog something they desperately need:
A home.

โค๏ธ WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU?
Let's be honest. Fostering isn't just about what you give. You get a lot back, too.
๐พ A companion to keep you company at home ๐ด An adventure buddy for walks, exploring, beach days and weekend outings โ A coffee date who is always happy to see you ๐๏ธ A cuddle buddy for movie nights and lazy Sundays ๐ถ A reason to get outside and move more ๐ธ A four-legged sidekick for your photos and adventures ๐ค The experience of having a dog without immediately committing to 10+ years ๐ A built-in community of other people who are fostering And maybe the biggest one:
You get to discover what life with THIS dog is actually like.
Because sometimes you think you want a dog... And then you meet *your* dog.
*
๐ก AND FOR THE DOG?
A shelter can keep a dog safe. But a foster home lets a dog live.
They get:
๐ Exposure to the real world ๐๏ธ A chance to relax outside the kennel ๐พ New experiences โค๏ธ Human companionship ๐ธ More opportunities to be seen ๐ก Valuable information about how they behave in a home
And every kennel you open up can potentially make room for another dog who needs help.
*
๐พ THIS IS WHERE FOSTER & HANG COMES IN
When you foster with us, you aren't doing it alone. We're creating a community around the experience.
During your foster stay, you'll have opportunities to join other fosters for:
โ Social hangouts with fellow dog lovers ๐ Sunset walks ๐ด Outdoor adventures ๐งบ Picnics ๐ธ Foster photo days
The dogs don't have to interact with each other. We'll structure outings around each dog's individual needs and prioritize safe, calm coexistence. Your foster gets an adventure. You get a companion. And together, you become part of a community.
*
๐ AND YES... THERE'S A CHANCE YOU'LL FALL IN LOVE.
That's kind of the point. You might foster for two weeks and help your dog find their forever home. You might decide to keep fostering. Or you might look at the dog sleeping next to you and realize:
"Oh no. I think this is my dog."
โค๏ธ Foster fail. We won't judge.

๐ WE'RE LOOKING FOR OUR FIRST 10โ15 FOUNDING FOSTERS
You don't have to be an experienced foster. You don't have to know if you're ready to adopt. You just need to be able to provide a safe, loving temporary home for a shelter dog for a short period of time, subject to the shelter's requirements and the individual dog's needs.
Come meet the dogs. Find your match. Take them home. Go on some adventures. See what happens.
You might change a dog'sโฆ
