Fosters Needed

Last updated 5/08/2026

GGLRR foster homes are often full when we find special Labs who we think deserve a chance. These Labs are in the process of getting into our program (evaluation, vet visit, etc) and having a foster identified gets us one step further in finding a forever home.

Find out more about about fostering with GGLRR and contact the rep listed if you are interested in helping in this key way. These Labs will be added to our Labs Available page when they are ready for adoption.

Additional fosters needed, can be found on the adoption page.



Foster needed for very pregnant Lab

Background: Beautiful female Lab.... was just picked up as a stray.  No issue at intake at the shelter other than being scared on a leash.  Shelter believes she is ~3 years old.

What Her Rescue Rep Says: We need a foster that is prepared to whelp this mama-to-be and provide a safe, quiet space for her and her puppies.  We will provide all the needed supplies, whelping box, and plenty of guidance.  Whelping puppies is an awesome experience; the best thing is that the mama dog does most (if not all) of the work.  Am happy to explain in detail what the entire fostering process would entail.  Need a home with a secure back yard.  You do not need to be home all the time.  . 

Medical: She received vaccinations and microchip.  66 lbs.

Located In: At the Modesto Shelter.

If you can foster her, please contact Rescue Rep Dave at david.c.ely@sbcglobal.net

Our volunteers donate their personal time & phones so please only call during reasonable hours (8am - 8pm). The Rescue Rep identified in the dog posting is the only person with information about the dog - please only contact the designated volunteer. We do call everyone back within 2-3 days so please be patient. We work very hard to make the right matches for the dogs and for the new owners. We get 3-5 dogs per week; we do not have a facility where the dogs are housed, they are in foster homes throughout the Bay Area.
