National Pyr’s Foster Hall of Fame

We've had many wonderful fosters through the years. Without them, the rescue of so many dogs would not have possible. When we took stock this year we realized there is also a wonderful group of fosters who have gone above and beyond.  These volunteers have fostered or cared for five or more dogs who went on to find their furever homes with other adopters. These volunteers loved these dogs, taught them basic skills and let them go so they were free to take other dogs who desperately needed foster homes.  We are forever in their debt.  We have established the "Foster Hall of Fame" to honor them and their contribution to rescue and listed them below state by state.  We have done our best to list everyone we know of but there have been so many through the years, please email us if you are or know of a foster who belongs on this list. The list will appear on p.2 of our 2018 Happy Endings calendar. If you are a foster on this list, please email us for a complimentary copy of the calendar.
