MASR DOGS IN NEED OF FOSTERS!
MASR gets inquiries daily about people needing to re-home their dogs. We wouldn't be able to do any of this without the dedication and help of our fosters. Fosters make all the difference to our dogs, fostering costs you nothing, we provide the food, the kennel, the vetting for the dog, even the toys.
We work hard to pair you with a dog that fits your family and lifestyle. Please keep in mind that none of these dogs are perfect. Many of them come from less than ideal circumstances, and have been very stressed. They make take a few days maybe even a couple of weeks to unwind, and relax due lack of any stable living situation. At MASR we offer many resources to help you introduce your foster dog to your current dog in addition to many training resources. We also have a trainer who is dedicated to help solve any issues you may face regarding your foster dog.
Please consider opening up your home to a foster dog. Many of these dogs just need a kind and stable living situation to help them find their forever homes and to be able to show people what wonderful dogs they can be. If you'd like to foster one of our wonderful dogs, please fill out our form here.

Timber
This beautiful big fellow has been waiting for a while to come into our care. He is much more than just beautiful - he is smart and very eager to learn and please!
Because he has lived entirely outdoors and has received no training, he will need a family willing to work with him and acclimatize him to indoor life. We hired a professional to assess him and her words were very encouraging.
"He is a high drive dog who impressed me with his eagerness to please, willingness to learn new things and impulse control.
I had the opportunity to see him interact with 2 neighbours kids (approximately 8 years and 12 years) who are regular visitors and he loves them. He is a big dog and with his enthusiasm and lack of consistent training, jumps and can easily knock someone over. However, when shown what is acceptable greeting manners, would offer them when the exercise was repeated."
"He has a fantastic mind and is very moldable ️ but will need someone who will teach him, play with him and walk him on leash every day. The only time he has been on a leash is for vet visits. Although, he is very responsive and respectful when I worked him with just his buckle collar & leash today."
"I thoroughly enjoyed my time (with Timber) today."
"I would suggest someone with some dog smarts as he needs a consistent, kind person who will use his drives and excitement to advance his learning and be able to handle his size."
Timber's owner is unable to keep him unfortunately and we are searching for a foster home! He has been exposed to only one other dog which he gets along with but will chase cats. Some dog knowledge and a fenced yard please.

penny
Gorgeous Penny is coming back into care. The home she's been in for the last few months has done a LOT of good for her, but she needs to go through a more formal rehabilitation program that only an experienced trainer and foster can provide. The home she has been in has been phenomenal, but they do not have the resources to give this spry girl what she needs. Penny is a sweet girl - loves belly rubs, loves toys, adores "her" people and is incredibly loyal and protective. Her leash walking manners are night and day compared to what they were, through the patient care of her former dad.
Penny has insecurity. The way the insecurity presents itself is through aggression, both towards other dogs and humans.
With MASR, we need Penny to go to a foster who can dedicate at least ten hours a WEEK to help her out.
What do we need in this foster?
Are you an energetic person who loves to go for jogs or long walks twice a day? (Penny needs a lot of exercise to get her energy burned up so that she can settle and LEARN.)
Do you have quick reflexes and a keen eye for details? (Penny likes to bite mitts - especially with hands in them, OUCH - you will need to learn dog body language and catch her if she lunges.)
Are you open minded? (Penny's rehabilitation will be intense and involves both force free / positive AND balanced training - the trainer makes the rules, you need to be committed to following through and being corrected while you're learning.)
Do you have a passion to maybe become a dog trainer? (Penny would be a great "first dog" to train and rehabilitate under the guidance of our behaviourist and trainer).
Are you dedicated to success? (Penny will be an interesting case to rehabilitate - it may take multiple tries and different methods to find one that clicks for her - all dogs are different, so this will be a journey!)
What do we want in a foster home for Penny?
- No other pets.
- No children.
- Two adults max, both will need to work with our trainer.
- A home where Penny is left alone for no more than a couple of hours a day.
What will you get out of this?
A crash course in how to manage your home like a trainer.
You'll be a pro by the end and your friends will be asking you for help!
The love and loyalty of an animal companion.
All. The. Belly rubs. All of them. All yours.
Our gratitude for helping save the life of one amazing dog!
