Saskatoon Dog Rescue in need of fosters

Saskatoon Dog Rescue is seeking more spaces for their dogs before they transition to their forever homes.

The rescue is entirely volunteer-run and doesn’t have its own facility to house dogs. Instead, it relies on a network of foster homes.

Saskatoon Dog Rescue Foster Director Bobbi Oldridge said their dogs primarily come from northern communities.

“They have pets and animals in their homes but are unable to spay or neuter them easily,” she said. “They either are at great distance and are unable to transport the dogs, or economics is an issue, so they end up with overpopulation in their communities.”

She said they currently have foster homes for about 25 dogs. They normally have 80 to 100 in care at this time of year.

“We can’t do our job of helping these dogs have a better life and a better story if we don’t have places to put them,” she said, adding they supply foster families with food, beds, leashes and even costumes, pay for vet bills and offer training sessions.

“We provide absolutely everything and we just need people to open their homes and have a puppy or a dog in there keeping them company for a while.”
