Coming Soon: Giving Tuesday - Help Us Save More Lives

We wanted to put Foster Tales on your radar for the 2024 Giving Tuesday event in November. Read below to learn more about us, how we can use donations, and where to donate or get involved.

Daphne, rescued from a high-kill shelter, stood no chance at a forever home because of her jumping abilities. After 9 months in foster care, we found her an amazing home in San Francisco. Daphne represents some of the amazing work we do at Foster Tales. 

As the holiday season nears, Giving Tuesday offers a special opportunity to shift our focus from shopping to making a difference. Celebrated on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, it’s a global day of generosity where individuals, families, and organizations come together to support causes they care about. By joining us this Giving Tuesday, you can make a powerful impact on the lives of animals in need.

At Foster Tales, we rescue the most vulnerable dogs—those in high-kill shelters, often scared and sick, who have nowhere else to turn. Every week, we walk through shelter doors to find dogs who desperately need our help. We scoop them up, bring them into foster care, and provide the love, medical treatment, and support they need to heal and find forever homes.

Our work is only possible because of generous donations, and the costs are substantial. Each month, we spend almost $8,000 on critical supplies and vet care. Spaying and neutering, treating sick and injured dogs, and providing essentials like collars, leashes, nutrient dense food, and transportation all add up. We rely heavily on items like flea preventatives and dewormers, which can be purchased directly from our Amazon wishlist. But we need your help to continue.

Here’s how you can make a difference this Giving Tuesday:

1. Donate: Every dollar goes directly to the care of our rescue dogs. Your financial support allows us to keep saving lives, providing medical treatment, and covering essential supplies. Click here to make a monetary donation in honor of Giving Tuesday.

2. Volunteer: We’re always in need of compassionate fosters, especially those living up north. Fostering provides a safe space for these dogs to recover and prepares them for adoption. Click here to fill out our foster application.

3. Share Our Mission: Even if you can’t contribute financially, spreading the word on social media can inspire others to get involved. Generosity is contagious, and your enthusiasm can encourage others to support our work. Check out our Instagram page and share with your friends here.

This Giving Tuesday, be a part of something bigger. Join us as we work to bring hope and healing to animals who need it most. Together, we can create a wave of kindness that changes lives. Whether you donate, volunteer, or simply spread the word, your support means the world to us—and to every dog we save.

Let’s make a pawsitive impact together.
