Fostering abandoned and rescued dogs and puppies is a wonderful and fulfilling experience! As a foster, you will be giving a second chance to a poor dog who has no one to advocate for them except kind hearted people like you! These dogs are saved from high kill shelters with limited resources who are unable to care for the number of animals that are abandoned at their doors. There is great satisfaction in knowing that you are saving a life!

Come out to this adoption event to learn about how to become a Foster Family!

Join OPH volunteers and adoptable dogs at the Pet Valu in Hanover, PA.
